ACKNOWLEDGMENT 

The  publishers  desire  to  express  in  this  final  volume  a  particular  obligation  to  members  of  the  special  editorial  fore?  which 
has  carried  the  Photographic  History  to  completion.  It  was  impossible  for  the  staff  of  the  Review  of  Reviews,  at  the  beginning 
of  the  undertaking,  to  estimate  its  extent.  To  construct  ten  large  volumes,  to  avoid  controversy  throughout,  yet  to  obtain  an 
unique  comprehensiveness  by  a  concentration  of  interest  on  the  particular  war-time  activity  treated  in  each  volume  separately — 
this  involved  a  new  departure  in  editorial  effort.  Even  with  the  cordial  cooperation  of  many  distinguished  contributors,  the 
task — as  a  result  of  the  novelty  of  the  plan — far  exceeded  expectations,  and  called  for  a  high  degree  of  discrimination,  application, 
and  resource.  These  calls  have  been  met  most  faithfully.  Special  mention  is  due  George  L.  Kilmer,  late  U.  S.  V.,  Military  Editor, 
whose  lifelong  devotion  to  the  literature  and  records  of  the  Civil  War  has  endowed  him  with  a  sympathy,  and  an  exact  knowledge 
of  events,  that  have  rendered  of  utmost  value  his  critical  reading  of  both  text  and  captions.  From  Mr.  George  H.  Casamajor, 
Historical  Editor,  the  text  has  received  a  minute  scrutiny  in  manuscript  and  proof,  coupled  with  painstaking  historical  research 
and  investigation,  imparting  in  no  small  degree  its  accuracy  of  statement  and  harmony  of  narrative.  Mr.  Herbert  T.  Wade,  as 
Literary  Editor,  has  developed  and  organized  the  text,  from  the  initial  extensive  correspondence  and  negotiations  in  the  obtaining 
of  adequate  contributions,  to  seeing  the  pages  through  the  press.  One  and  all  have  cooperated  unsparingly,  with  many  personal 
sacrifices.  No  small  stimulus  has  come  from  the  actuality  of  the  photographic  collection  which  the  text  seeks  to  complement. 
And  all  have  felt  the  inspiration  of  this  opportunity — to  present  the  immense  facts  of  Civil  War  bravery  and  tragedy  in  a  lorm 
that  is  sympathetic  and  universal. 

Thanks  are  due  to  many  friends  who  have  supplied  rare  and  valuable  photographs  since  the  acknowledgments  in  Volume  I 
went  to  press:  Gen.  G.  W.  C.  Lee,  C.  S,  A.;  Col.  E.  F.  Austin;  R.  B.  Breen;  Berry  Benson,  C.  S.  A.;  Miss  Sarah  A.  Smyth;  W.  H.

"SOLDIERS  AND   CITIZENS" 

ROBERT  E.    LEE  WITH   FORMER   UNION  AND  CONFEDERATE  LEADERS 
AFTER   THE    ARMIES*   WORK   WAS    DONE 

By  great  good  fortune  this  unique  photograph,  taken  at  White  Sulphur  Springs,  Virginia,  in  August, 
1869,  was  preserved  more  than  forty  years  by  a  Confederate  veteran  of  Richmond,  Mr.  James 
Blair,  through  whose  courtesy  it  appears  here — to  sound  the  key-note  of  this  volume  as  no  preface 
could.  Such  a  fraternal  gathering  could  have  been  paralleled  after  no  other  great  war  in  history. 
For  in  this  neighborly  group,  side  by  side,  are  bitter  foemen  of  not  five  years  past.  Near  the  un- 
mistakable figure  of  Lee  stands  Lew  Wallace,  the  commander  who  in  1864  had  opposed  Lee's  lieu- 
tenant- Early — at  the  Monocacy;  the  division  leader  who  at  Shiloh,  first  grand  battle  of  the  war.  had 
fired  on  the  lines  in  gray  commanded  by  the  dashing  Confederate  general  who  now  touches  him  on 
I  In-  right  Beauregard.  To  the  left  stand  Connor  and  Geary,  formerly  generals  of  opposing  forces 
in  the  Carolinas.  There  is  the  tall  "'  Prince  John"  Magruder,  the  venerable  Henry  A.  Wise,  and 
other  one-time  leaders  of  the  Gray.  And  for  a  further  touch  of  good  citizenship,  there  i>  added  the 
distinguished  presence  of  George  Peabody  of  Massachusetts,  and  W.  W.  Corcoran  of  Washington — 
philanthropists  of  the  nobles!  1ype.  but  not  alone  in  this  group  "as  having  helped  their  fellow  men."

AFTER  THE  GREAT  MASS  MEETING  IX  UNION  SQUARE.  NEW  YORK.  APRIL  20,  1S61 

Knots  of  citizens  still  linger  around  the  stands  where  Anderson,  who  had  abandoned  Sumter  only  six  days 
before,  had  just  roused  the  multitude  to  wild  enthusiasm.  Of  this  gathering  in  support  of  the  Government 
the  New  York  Herald  said  at  the  time:  "Such  a  mighty  uprising  of  the  people  has  never  before  been  witnessed 
in  New  York,  nor  throughout  the  whole  length  and  breadth  of  the  Union.  Five  stands  were  erected,  from 
which  some  of  the  most  able  speakers  of  the  city  and  state  addressed  the  multitude  on  the  necessity  of 
rallying  around  the  flag  of  the  Republic  in  this  hour  of  its  danger.  A  series  of  resolutions  was  proposed  and 
unanimously  adopted,  pledging  the  meeting  to  use  every  means  to  preserve  the  I  nion  intact  and  inviolate. 
Great  unanimity  prevailed  throughout  the  whole  proceedings;  party  politics  were  ignored,  and  the  en- 
tire meeting — speakers  and  listeners — were  a  unit  in  maintaining  the  national  honor  unsullied.  Major  Ander- 
son, the  hero  of  Fort  Sumter,  was  present,  and  showed  himself  at  the  various  stands,  at  each  of  which  he  was 
most  enthusiastically  received.  An  impressive  feature  of  tin-  occasion  was  the  flag  of  Sumter,  hoisted  on 
the  stump  of  tin-  staff  that  had  been  shot  away,  placed  in  the  hand  of  the  equestrian  statue  of  Washington."

RECRUITING    ON    BROADWAY.    1801 


Looking  north  on  Broadway 
from  "The  Park"  (later 
City  Hall  Park)  in  war 
time,  one  sees  the  Stars  and 
Stripes  waving  above  the 
recruiting  station,  past 
which  the  soldiers  stroll. 
There  is  a  convenient  booth 
with  liquid  refreshments. 
To  the  right  of  the  picture 
the  rear  end  of  a  street  car  is 
visible,  but  passenger  travel 
on  Broadway  itself  is  by 
stage.  On  the  left  is  the 
Astor  House,  then  one  of 
the  foremost  hostelries  of 
the  city.  In  the  lower  pho- 
tograph the  view  is  from  the 


balcony  of  the  Metropolitan 
looking  north  on  Broadway. 
The  twin  towers  on  the  left 
are  those  of  St.  Thomas's 
Church.  The  lumbering 
stages,  with  the  deafening 
noise  of  their  rattling  win- 
dows as  they  drive  over  the 
cobblestones,  are  here  in 
force.  More  hoop-skirts 
are  retreating  in  the  dis- 
tance, and  a  gentleman  in 
the  tall  hat  of  the  period 
is  on  his  way  down  town. 
Few  of  the  buildings  seen 
here  remained  half  a  cen- 
tury later.  The  time  is  sum- 
mer, as  the  awnings  attest. 


THE  WAR'S  GREAT   "CITIZEN"   AT  HIS  MOMENT  OF  TRIUMPH 


Just  behind  the  round  table  to  the  right,  rising  head  and  shoulders  above  the  distinguished  bystanders,  grasping  his  manuscript  in  both 
hands,  stands  Abraham  Lincoln.  Of  all  the  occasions  on  which  he  talked  to  his  countrymen,  this  was  most  significant.  The  time  and 
place  marked  the  final  and  lasting  approval  of  his  political  and  military  policies.  Despite  the  bitter  opposition  of  a  majority  of  the 
Northern  political  and  social  leaders,  the  people  of  the  Northern  States  had  renominated  Lincoln  in  June,  1864.  In  November,  en- 
couraged by  the  victories  of  Farragut  at  Mobile,  Sherman  in  Georgia,  and  Sheridan  in  the  Shenandoah  Valley,  they  had  reelected  him 
['resident  of  the  United  States  by  an  electoral  vote  of  212  to  21.  Since  the  election,  continued  Northern  victories  had  made  certain  the

speedy  termination  of  the  war.  Not  long  since,  his  opponents  had  been  so  numerous  and  so  powerful  that  they  fully  expected  to  prevent 
his  renomination.  Lincoln  himself,  shortly  after  his  renomination,  had  come  to  believe  that  reelection  was  improbable,  and  had  ex- 
pressed himself  as  ready  "to  cooperate  with  the  President-elect  to  save  the  Union."  Yet  neither  in  Lincoln's  demeanor  nor  in  his 
inaugural  address  is  there  the  slighest  note  of  personal  exultation.  For  political  and  military  enemies  alike  he  has  "  malice  toward 
none;  charity  for  all."  Indeed  the  dominant  feeling  in  his  speech  is  one  of  sorrow  and  sympathy  for  the  cruel  sufferings  of  both  North 
and  South.     Not  only  in  the  United  States,  but  throughout  the  civilized  world,  the  address  made  a  profound  and  immediate  impression.

INTRODUCTION 

SOLDIERS    AND    CITIZENS 

•/^KAXT  at  Appomattox — Lee  at  Gettysburg — those  are 
^J"  the  men  for  me!"  Tims  exclaimed  a  long-time  writer 
on  military  matters,  after  the  contemplation  of  certain  portraits 
that  follow  these  pages.  His  criticism  halted  before  the  colos-,al 
moral  qualities  of  the  two  war  leaders — the  generosity  that  con- 
sidered the  feelings  of  the  conquered  general  as  well  as  the 
private  soldiers'  need  of  horses  "  for  the  spring  plowing  " — the 
nobility  that,  after  Pickett's  charge  at  Gettysburg,  promptly 
shouldered  all  the  responsibility. 

Those  heights  of  character,  as  chronicled  in  the  pages  that 
follow  and  in  other  volumes  of  this  History,  are  heroic,  uni- 
versal. They  surpass  the  bounds  of  any  period  or  nation:  they 
link  America  with  the  greatness  of  the  ages.  If  they,  together 
with  the  sacrifice  and  fortitude  of  thousands  more  among  the 
"  Armies  and  Leaders."  are  made  to  live  more  vividly  for  those 
who  study  the  narrative  and  portraits  of  this  volume,  and  the 
nine  volumes  preceding  it.  their  publication  will  indeed  have 
been  justified. 

The  personal  inspiration  of  the  war  pictures  centers,  natu- 
rally, in  the  portraits  and  groups.  Several  hundred  of  them  are 
presented  in  the  pages  following.  Study  of  them  soon  re- 
veals a  difference  between  soldier  and  non-combatant,  as  ex- 
pressed in  bearing  and  cast  of  countenance.  It  is  astonish- 
ing how  accurately,  after  examining  a   number  of  the  war 

photographs   of    every   description,    one    may    distinguish    in

many  cases  between  fighters  and  non-combatants.  This  is 
true,  even  when  the  latter  are  represented  in  full  army  over- 
coats, with  swords  and  the  like,  as  was  customary  to  some 
extent  with  postmasters,  quartermasters,  commissariat  and 
hospital  attendants. 

The  features  are  distinctive  of  the  men  who  have  stood  up 
under  fire,  and  undergone  the  even  severer  ordeal  of  submis- 
sion to  a  will  working  for  the  common  good,  involving  the  sacri- 
fice of  personal  independence.  Their  dignity  and  quiet  self- 
confidence  are  obscured  neither  by  the  extreme  growth  of  facial 
hair  fashionable  in  the  sixties,  nor  by  the  stains  of  marching 
and  camping.  Where  the  photograph  "  caught  "  the  real  sol- 
diers under  any  circumstances  of  dress  or  undress,  health  or 
disease,  camp-ease,  or  wounds  that  had  laid  the  subjects  low, 
the  stamp  of  discipline  stands  revealed. 

The  young  officers'  portraits  afford  particularly  interest- 
ing study.  The  habit  of  quick  decision,  the  weighing  of  re- 
sponsibilities involving  thousands  of  human  lives  which  has 
become  a  daily  matter,  like  the  morning  and  evening  train- 
catching  of  the  modern  business  commuter — these  swift  and 
tremendous  affairs  are  borne  with  surprising  calmness  upon 
the  young  shoulders. 

To  represent  in  some  coherent  form  the  men  of  Civil  War 
time,  this  volume  has  been  set  aside.  It  becomes  highly  desir- 
able to  the  fundamental  plan  of  this  history. 

The  first  three  volumes,  devoted  to  narrative  in  the  largest 
sense,  and  to  scenes,  could  present  portraits  only  of  officers  and 
men  connected  with  particular  operations.  Each  of  the  next 
six  volumes,  occupied  as  it  is  with  a  special  phase  of  war-time 
activity — cavalry,  artillery,  prisons  and  hospitals,  or  the  like

—naturally  emphasizes,  in  its  personal  mentions  and  por- 
trayals, the  men  of  the  respective  specialties. 

The  editors,  therefore,  determined  to  devote  an  entire  vol- 
ume to  the  consideration  of  the  personnel  of  the  Union  and 
Confederate  armies,  lint  in  this  field,  vaster  than  most  of  the 
present  generation  have  imagined,  even  a  hook  as  extensive  as  a 
volume  of  the  Photographic  History  can  be  no  more  than 
suggestive. 

Consider  the  typical  fighting  man  on  the  Union  side  alone 
—the  brevet  brigadier-general,  or  the  colonel,  often  deserving 
of  promotion  to  that  rank.  When  it  is  reflected  that  the  rank 
of  brevet  brigadier-general  was  conferred  upon  eleven  hundred 
and  seventy  Federal  officers  who  never  attained  the  full  rank, 
and  that  the  colonels  who  displayed  conspicuous  gallantry  num- 
bered as  many,  perhaps  twice  as  many,  more,  it  is  evident  that 
the  editors  of  the  Photographic  History,  in  presenting  por- 
traits of  more  than  three  hundred  of  the  generals,  by  brevet, 
have  made  this  feature  of  the  work  as  comprehensive  as  possi- 
ble. To  exhaust  the  list  of  such  officers  would  require  a  sepa- 
rate volume. 

Consistency,  likewise,  would  demand  at  least  another  vol- 
ume for  colonels.  But  who  would  undertake  to  decide  what 
particular  thousand  among  the  upward  of  ten  thousand  claim- 
ants among  this  rank  should  have  a  place  in  the  gallery  of  fame? 
And  if  gallant  colonels,  why  not  the  equally  gallant  lieutenant- 
colonels,  majors,  and  captains,  who  at  times  commanded  regi- 
ments? 

That  there  are  limitations  is  evident.  The  nature  of  the 
work  decides  its  scope  to  a  large  degree.  The  war-time  camera 
has  been  the  arbiter.     Here  and  there  it  caught  the  colonel  as

well  as  the  general,  the  captain  as  well  as  the  colonel,  and  the 
private  as  well  as  the  captain.  On  the  whole,  its  work  was  well 
balanced,  marvelously  so,  and  the  results  are  before  the  readers 
of  the  Photographic  History. 

If  so  slight  a  proportion  can  be  shown  of  the  men  dis- 
tinguished for  their  righting,  it  obviously  becomes  impossible, 
even  should  the  ten  volumes  consist  of  portraits  alone, 
to  represent  adequately  the  soldiers  whose  fame  has  come 
since  1865. 

Merely  to  suggest  the  function  of  the  Civil  War  as  a  school 
of  citizenship,  portraits  are  presented  with  this  introduction  of 
six  soldiers  who  became  President;  of  a  group  like  Grenville 
M.  Dodge,  Harrison  Gray  Otis,  and  Thomas  T.  Eckert,  who 
helped  to  develop  American  material  resources;  together  with 
several,  such  as  Henry  Watterson,  Carl  Schurz,  George  E. 
Waring,  Jr..  and  Francis  A.  Walker,  whose  influence  has  put 
much  of  our  journalism  and  public  life  on  a  higher  plane. 

As  these  lines  are  penned,  no  less  than  four  Civil  War  sol- 
diers— two  Union,  two  Confederate — are  serving  as  members 
of  the  highest  American  tribunal — the  Supreme  Court: — Chief 
Justice  White  and  Justice  Lurton  (Confederate)  ;  Justices 
Harlan  and  Holmes  (Union).  Ex-Confederates  again  have 
been  found  in  the  cabinets  of  both  Republican  and  Democratic 
Presidents,  as  well  as  in  the  National  Congress. 

But  immense  indeed  would  be  the  literary  enterprise  un- 
dertaking to  cover  all  the  results  in  American  civic  life  of  Civil 
War  training.  There  have  been  State  governors  by  the  hun- 
dreds who  could  look  back  upon  service  with  the  armies. 
There  have  been  members  of  legislatures  by  the  tens  of  thou-

sands.  Arid  the  private  soldiers — hundreds  of  thousands  of 
them,  mere  boys  when  they  enlisted  to  fight  through  the  four 
years,  expanded  into  important  citizens  of  their  communities, 
as  a  direct  result  of  their  service  in  the  Blue  and  the  Gray. 

The  youths  of  eighteen  or  nineteen,  who  rushed  to  the 
defense  of  their  flag  in  1861,  lacked,  as  most  hoys  do.  some 
notable  phenomenon,  blow,  catastrophe  to  fire  their  imagina- 
tions and  give  them  confidenee  in  themselves.  Without  such 
inspiration  their  highest  destiny  would  have  fallen  far  short 
of  fulfilment. 

But  those  same  youths  who  survived  to  the  summer  of 
18G5 — how  differently  they  stood! — ereet.  with  arms  well  hung, 
with  quiet  dignity,  with  the  self-assuranee  learned  from  years 
of  quick  decision  and  unhesitating  following  of  duty  through 
danger. 

If,  for  instance,  one  should  study  the  careers  of  those 
countless  thousands  of  fearless  sheriffs  who  have  kept  order  in 
communities  throughout  the  country,  after  service  under  the 
Stars  and  Stripes  or  the  Stars  and  Bars,  it  would  become  over- 
whelmingly apparent  that  without  such  training  in  resolution 
and  resourcefulness,  most  of  the  men  who  were  young  in  18(51 
could  possibly  have  become  village  constables — no  more. 

The  leading  biographies  in  this  volume  have  naturally  been 
left  free  from  the  editorial  scrutiny  that  has  aimed  to  render  the 
test  throughout  the  largest  part  of  the  Photographic  His- 
tory as  detached  and  impersonal  as  possible.  The  value,  for 
instance,  of  the  chapter  on  Grant,  by  Colonel  YV.  C.  Church, 
lies  not  only  in  the  trained  military  criticism  of  technical  opera- 
tions by  the  veteran  editor  of  the  Army  and  Navy  Journal, 
hut  also  in  the  author's  personal  acquaintance  with  the  Union

Nor  was  it  to  be  expected  or  desired  that  Professor  Wil-

Wearing  epaulets  and  a  sword — quite  unusual  for  him — but  calm  and  imperturbable  as  of  old,  with  his  crumpled  army  hat.  plain  blouse, 
his  trousers  tucked  into  his  boot-tops,  and  the  inevitable  cigar,  Ulysses  S.  Grant  stands  at  a  historic  spot.  Less  than  a  week  before,

Eager  hands  pointed,  and  a  great  cheer  went  up  from  the  Army  of  the  Cumberland.  They  knew  that  the  Union  troops  with  Hooker

ULYSSES  SIMPSON  GRANT 

By  William  Coxaxt  Church 
Brevet  Lieutenant-Colonel,  United  States  Volunteers 

THE  man  of  all  men  who  knew  General  Grant  best,  his 
friend  and  chief  ally.  General  W.  T.  Sherman,  declared 
that  Grant  more  nearly  than  any  other  man  impersonated  the 
American  character  of  18(51-65,  and  was  the  typical  hero  of 
our  great  Civil  War. 

It  is  an  anomaly  of  history  that  a  man  so  distinguished 
in  war  should  be  so  unwarlike  in  personal  characteristics  as  was 
Ulysses  Simpson  Grant,  and  so  singularly  free  from  the  ambi- 
tions supposed  to  dominate  the  soldier.  He  sickened  at  the 
sight  of  blood,  was  so  averse  to  inflicting  pain  that,  as  a  lad,  he 
never  enjoyed  the  boyish  sport  of  killing  small  animals,  and 
at  no  time  in  his  life  was  he  fond  of  hunting.  Indeed,  no  more 
gentle-hearted  and  kindly  man  is  known  to  American  history, 
not  excepting  Abraham  Lincoln. 

Numerous  circumstances  in  the  life  of  Grant  illustrate 
his  consideration  for  others.  At  Vicksbufg;  Mississippi,  where 
over  thirty  thousand  Confederates  surrendered  to  him,  July 
4,  1863,  he  directed  his  exulting  troops  "to  be  orderly  and 
quiet  as  the  paroled  prisoners  passed  "  and  to  make  no  offensive 
remarks.  The  only  cheers  heard  there  were  for  the  defenders 
of  Vicksburg,  and  the  music  sounded  was  the  tune  of  "  Old 
Hundred,"  in  which  victor  and  vanquished  could  join.  The 
surrender  at  Appomattox.  Virginia,  April  9,  1865,  was  char- 
acterized by  almost  feminine  tenderness  and  tact,  and  a  sym- 
pathetic courtesy  toward  the  conquered  so  marked  that  an 
observer  was  moved  to  ask,  "  Who's  surrendering  here,  any- 
way?" 

A  simple-hearted  country  lad  disposed  to  bucolic  life,  so

GRANT  IN   1863— BEFORE  THE  FIRST  OF  HIS   GREAT   VICTORIES 


Grant  was  described  in  1801  as  a  man  "who  knows  how  to  do  tilings."  In  February,  186*2,  he  captured  Forts 
Henry  and  Donelson,  thus  opening  the  way  for  a  Federal  advance  up  the  Tennessee  River,  and  was  promptly 
commissioned  major-general.  His  experience  at  Shiloh  in  April,  coupled  with  failures  in  official  routine 
during  the  Donelson  campaign  which  were  not  approved  by  his  superiors,  left  him  under  a  cloud  which  was 
not  removed  until  the  capture  of  Vicksburg,  July  4,  1863,  revealed  capacity  of  a  high  order.  The  govern- 
ment's plan  of  conducting  the  war  was  then  entrusted  to  him  to  work  out  with  practically  unlimited  power. 


unbelligerent  that  he  never  had  even  a  "  spat  "  at  West  Point. 
displaying'  no  martial  qualities  except,  perhaps,  in  his  love  of 
horses  and  in  their  fearless  handling,  there  was  in  him  no 
suggestion  of  the  vocation  of  the  soldier.  He  entered  the  Mil- 
itary Academy  simply  because  his  father  desired  that  he  should 
do  so,  and  while  there  he  secretly  rejoiced  because  of  the  re- 
port that  Congress  was  proposing  to  abolish  the  academy. 
The  thought  of  the  girl  he  left  behind  was  constantly  with  him 
during  his  cadet  course,  though  this  youthful  romance  ended 
in  the  disillusion  which  often  attends  such  experiences. 

And  it  Mas  this  man,  whose  personal  characteristics  were 
all  so  unlike  those  distinguishing  the  remorseless  conqueror, 
"  slaughtering  men  for  glory's  sake."  who  was  selected  from 
among  the  heroes  of  our  great  domestic  strife  for  the  appella- 
tion of  "  butcher."  Xo  one  of  them  less  deserved  this  title,  for 
none  of  them  accomplished  as  great  results  with  a  less  pro- 
portionate loss  of  life.  The  repulse  of  Lee  at  Gettysburg,  in 
1863,  was  obtained  at  a  cost  of  23,000  casualties — 31.5.5  killed, 
14,529  wounded.  5365  missing — and  at  the  end  Lee  marched 
with  his  army  from  the  field  of  battle.  The  more  complete 
victory  at  Yieksburg,  with  the  surrender  of  Pemberton's  entire 
army  of  30.000  men,  was  obtained  by  Grant  with  a  casualty 
list  of  only  9362.  including  about  450  missing. 

Heavy  as  were  the  losses  during  the  year  which  preceded 
the  surrender  of  the  Army  of  Northern  Virginia,  they  were 
less  than  the  aggregate  loss,  including  "missing."  of  previous 
commanders  of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  in  unsuccessful  at- 
tempts to  accomplish  the  same  result  in  the  same  field.  Grant's 
total  of  killed  and  wounded  was  19.597  less  than  the  average 
number  killed  and  injured  annually  by  the  railroads  of  the 
United  States  during  the  four  years  ending  1910. 

Those  who  "  control  the  destiny  of  to-morrow  "  are  those 
who  are  the  most  apt  in  learning  that,  in  great  matters,  it  is

BEFORE   VICKSBURG 


The  close-set  mouth,  squared  shoulders  and  lower- 
ing brow  in  this  photograph  of  Grant,  taken  in 
December,  ISG'J,  tell  the  story  of  the  intensity  of 
his  purpose  while  he  was  advancing  upon  Vicks- 
burg — only  to  be  foiled  by  Van  Dorn's  raid  on  his 
line  of  communications  at  Holly  Springs.  His 
grim  expression  and  determined  jaw  betokened  no 
respite  for  the  Confederates,  however.  Six  months 
later  he  marched  into  the  coveted  stronghold. 
This  photograph  was  taken  by  James  Mullen  at

AFTER  VICKSBURG 


This  photograph  was  taken  in  the  fall  of  lSfi:!, 
after  the  capture  of  the  Confederacy's  Gibraltar 
had  raised  Grant  to  secure  and  everlasting  fame. 
His  attitude  is  relaxed  and  his  eyebrows  no  longer 
mark  a  straight  line  across  the  grim  visage.  The 
right  brow  is  slightly  arched  with  an  almost  jovial 
expression.  But  the  jaw  is  no  less  vigorous  and 
determined,  and  the  steadfast  eyes  seem  to  be 
peering  into  that  future  which  holds  more  vic- 
tories. He  still  has  Chattanooga  and  his  great 
campaigns  in  the  East  to  fight  and  the  final  mag- 
nificent struggle  in  the  trenches  at  Petersburg.

necessary  to  disregard  personal  considerations  and  to  keep  the 
mind  open  to  the  suggestions  from  within;  who  are  not  blinded 
by  what  has  been  well  described  as  "  the  pride  of  self-derived 
intelligence."  Grant  succeeded  because  his  specially  trained 
faculties  and  especially  adapted  experiences  were  obedient  to 
larger  suggestions  than  those  of  personal  ambition  and  self- 
glorification.  This  explains  Grant,  as  it  explains  Lincoln  and 
Washington. 

"  Sam  "  Grant,  as  his  colleagues  at  the  Military  Academy 
were  accustomed  to  call  him,  because  of  the  "  U.  S.,"  Uncle 
Sam,  in  his  name;  "  '  Sam  '  Grant,"  as  one  of  those  same  col- 
leagues once  said,  "  was  as  honest  a  man  as  God  ever  made." 
Honest,  not  merely  in  a  pecuniary  sense  but  in  all  of  his  men- 
tal processes,  and  in  this  simple  honesty  of  his  nature  Ave  find 
the  explanation  not  only  of  his  greatness  but  of  the  errors  into 
which  he  fell  in  the  attempt  to  deal  with  the  subtleties  of  human 
selfishness  and  intrigue. 

It  was  characteristic  of  Grant's  mental  processes  that  he 
always  thought  on  straight  lines,  and  his  action  was  equally 
direct  and  positive.  He  was  not  so  much  concerned  with  the 
subtleties  of  strategy  as  with  a  study  of  the  most  direct  road 
to  the  opponent's  center.  One  of  the  chief  perplexities  on  the 
field  of  battle  is  "  the  fog  of  war,"  the  difficulty  of  divining  the 
movements  of  the  foe,  by  which  your  own  are  to  be  determined. 
Grant  was  less  confused  by  this  than  most  commanders,  keep- 
ing his  adversary  so  occupied  with  his  own  aggressive  move- 
ments that  he  had  little  opportunity  to  study  combinations 
against  him.  He  was  fertile  in  expedients;  his  mind  was  al- 
ways open  to  the  suggestions  of  opportunity,  and  it  was  his 
habit  to  postpone  decision  until  the  necessity  for  decision  arose. 

Grant  recognized  earlier  than  others  the  fact  that,  if  his 
own  troops  were  lacking  in  the  military  knowledge  and  train- 
ing required  to  make  them  a  facile  instrument  in  his  hands,  his 
antagonists  were  no  better  equipped  in  this  respect.  Pie  saw 
that  the  best  training  for  the  high-spirited  and  independent      f 


On  this  page  are  three 
photographs  of  General 
Grant,  taken  in  the  most 
critical  year  of  his  career, 
the  year  when  he  took 
Vicksburg  in  July,  then 
in  November  gazed  in 
wonder  at  his  own  sol- 
diers as  they  swarmed  up 
the  heights  of  Mission- 
ary Ridge.  The  following 
March  he  was  made  gen- 
eral-in-chief  of  the  armies 
of  the  United  States. 
Congress  passed  a  vote  of 
thanks  to  General  Grant 
and  his  army,  and  ordered 
a  gold  medal  to  be  struck 
in  his  honor.  But  as  we 
see  him  here,  none  of  these 
honors  had  come  to  him; 
and  the  deeds  themselves 


were  only  in  process  of  ac- 
complishment. Even  Sher- 
man, the  staunch  friend 
and  supporter  of  Grant, 
had  doubts  which  were 
only  dispelled  by  the  mas- 
ter stroke  at  Vicksburg,  as 
to  the  outcome  of  Grant's 
extraordinary  methods 
and  plans.  He  was  him- 
self conscious  of  the 
heavy  responsibility  rest- 
ing upon  him  and  of 
the  fact  that  he  stood  on 
trial  before  the  country. 
Other  faithful  generals 
had  been  condemned  at 
the  bar  of  public  opinion 
before  their  projects  ma- 
tured. The  eyes  in  these 
portraits  are  stern,  and 
the  expressions   intense.

volunteers   he   commanded   was   that   of   the   battlefield.      If 

action  involved  risk,  inaction  was  certain  to  produce  discon- 
tent and  even  demoralization,  while  the  fatalities  of  the  camp 
were  those  chiefly  to  be  dreaded,  for  microbes  were  more  deadly 
than  bullets.  His  early  successes  were  due  to  the  application 
of  his  methods  to  conditions  as  he  found  them,  without  waiting 
for  their  improvement.  When  he  met  the  battalions  of  Lee, 
then  trained  and  seasoned  by  three  years  of  war,  the  struggle 
was  protracted,  but  in  the  end  he  triumphed  through  his  policy 
of  vigorous  and  persistent  attack,  bringing  a  contest  which  had 
then  extended  over  three  years  of  inconclusive  fighting  to  a 
final  conclusion  in  one  year. 

General  Grant  was  born,  April  27,  1822,  in  a  little  one- 
story  cottage  on  the  banks  of  the  Ohio  River,  at  Point  Pleas- 
ant, Clermont  County,  Ohio.  His  grandfather,  Captain  Noah 
Grant,  was  a  Connecticut  soldier  of  the  army  of  the  Revolu- 
tion who,  in  1800,  settled  on  the  Connecticut  Reservation  of 
Ohio.  His  mother,  Hannah  Simpson,  was  of  a  sterling  Amer- 
ican family  of  pioneers,  noted  for  integrity,  truthfulness,  and 
sturdy  independence  of  character.  She  was  a  noble  woman  of 
strong  character,  and  it  was  from  her  that  the  son  inherited  his 
remarkable  capacity  for  reticence,  tempered  in  him  by  an  oc- 
casional relapse  into  the  garrulity  of  his  father.  If  he  was  in- 
capable of  indirection  in  thought  or  speech,  he  could  be  silent 
when  speech  might  betray  what  he  did  not  wish  to  have  known. 

Among  his  friends,  when  occasion  served,  he  was  a  fluent 
and  interesting  talker.  He  never  gossiped,  never  used  profane 
or  vulgar  language,  was  charitable  and  generous  to  a  fault, 
and  considerate  in  his  treatment  of  all.  He  was  good-natured 
and  fond  of  his  joke.  Uncomplaining  self-control  was  char- 
acteristic of  both  mother  and  son,  as  was  also  equability  of 
temper  and  "  saving  common  sense." 

To  estimate  Grant  correctly,  it  is  necessary  to  consider 
him  apart  from  the  personal  influences  by  which  he  was  swayed,    *

IN   THE   AUTUMN  OF  1863— GRANT'S  CHANGING   EXPRESSIONS 

Although  secure  in  his  fame  as  the  conqueror  of  Vicksburg,  Grant  still  has  the  greater  part  of  his  destiny  to  fulfil  as  he  faces 
the  camera.  Before  him  lie  the  Wilderness,  Spotsylvania,  fold  Harbor,  and  the  slow  investment  of  Petersburg.  This  series 
forms  a  particularly  interesting  study  in  expression.  At  the  left  hand,  the  face  looks  almost  amused.  In  the  next  the  ex- 
pression is  graver,  the  mouth  close  set.  The  third  picture  looks  plainly  obstinate,  and  in  the  last  the  stern  fighter  might 
have  been  declaring,  as  in  the  following  spring:  "I  propose  to  fight  it  out  on  this  line  if  it  takes  all  summer."  The  eyes, 
first  unveiled  fully  in  this  fourth  view,  are  the  unmistakable  index  to  Grant's  stern  inflexibility,  once  his  decision  was  made. 


IN  THE  Al'Tl'MN  OF  1864— AFTER  THE  STRAIN  OF  THE  WILDERNESS  CAMPAIGN 
Here  is  a  furrowed  brow  above  eyes  worn  by  pain.  In  the  pictures  of  the  previous  year  the  forehead  is  more  smooth,  the 
expression  grave  yet  confident.  Here  the  expression  is  that  of  a  man  who  has  won,  but  won  at  a  bitter  cost.  It  is  the  memory 
of  the  50,000  men  whom  he  left  in  the  Wilderness  campaign  and  at  Cold  Harbor  that  has  lined  this  brow,  and  closed  still 
tighter  this  inflexible  mouth.  Again,  as  in  the  series  above,  the  eyes  arc  not  revealed  until  the  last  picture.  Then  again 
flashes  the  determination  of  a  hero.  The  great  general's  biographers  say  that  Grant  was  a  man  of  sympathy  and  infinite 
pity.  It  was  the  more  difficult  for  him,  spurred  on  to  the  duty  by  grim  necessity,  to  order  forward  the  lines  in  blue  that 
withered,  again  and  again,  before  the  Confederate  fire,  but  each  time  weakened  the  attenuated  line  which  confronted  them. 


for  he  was  a  man  of  unusual  domesticity,  and  tenacity  of  friend- 
ship not  always  distinguished  by  perspicacity  in  discerning' 
character. 

To  the  sincere  hut  unobtrusive  piety  of  his  mother.  Grant 
owed  a  reverence  for  religion  which  he  displayed  throughout 
life  and  which  supported  him  during  that  last  desperate  strug- 
gle with  death,  ending  at  Mount  MacGregor,  Xew  York,  on 
July  23,  188.5.  His  belief  in  the  invisible  powers  was  the  hid- 
den current  of  the  great  soldier's  life.  It  explains  alike  his 
calmness  in  victory  and  his  unfaltering  courage  in  defeat. 
There  was  no  shock  of  battle  so  fierce,  no  episode  of  the  com- 
bat so  exciting  that  could  disturb  his  impassible  demeanor. 
"  I  have  had  many  hard  experiences  in  my  life,"  he  once  said 
to  the  writer,  when  chatting  in  front  of  his  camp-fire  at  Peters- 
burg, "  but  I  never  saw  the  moment  when  I  was  not  confident 
that  I  should  win  in  the  end." 

If  he  was  not  blinded  by  a  sense  of  his  individual  im- 
portance, there  was  no  lack  of  self-confidence  in  Grant.  He 
had  a  just  estimate  of  his  own  abilities  and  a  correct  under- 
standing, as  a  soldier,  of  the  work  for  which  his  abilities  and 
experiences  had  fitted  him.  If  he  did  not  possess  what  is  usu- 
ally regarded  as  the  temperament  of  the  soldier,  there  was  no 
lack  of  the  training  or  experience  of  the  soldier.  If  not  a 
brilliant  student,  according  to  the  standards  of  West  Point, 
he  made  a  faithful  use  of  the  opportunity  which  that  institu- 
tion gave  him  for  a  military  training.  In  his  class-standing 
he  held  a  middle  place  with  others  of  the  graduates  most  dis- 
tinguished in  our  Civil  War;  a  relatively  higher  place  than 
Jefferson  Davis,  James  Longstreet,  William  J.  Hardee,  and 
others  of  the  South:  and  than  Sheridan,  Hooker.  Buell,  and 
other  leaders  of  the  Northern  armies. 

Xo  soldier  of  like  rank  was  more  distinguished  in  the 
war  with  Mexico  than  Grant,  then  a  lieutenant.  It  is  no  small 
achievement  for  a  subaltern  to  be  brought  into  the  lime-light

of  publicity,  as  Grant  was  by  mention  in  general  orders  com- 
mending him  for  acts  of  special  distinction  in  battle,  showing 
both  intelligence  and  daring. 

Meeting  General  Grant  not  long  after  his  return  to  mil- 
itary life,  Henry  Villard  reported  that  "  there  was  certainly 
nothing  in  his  outward  appearance  or  in  his  personal  ways  or 
conversation  to  indicate  the  great  military  qualities  he  pos- 
sessed. Firmness  seemed  to  me  about  the  only  characteristic 
expressed  in  his  features.  Otherwise,  he  was  a  very  plain,  un- 
pretentious, unimposing  person,  easily  approached,  reticent  as 
a  rule,  and  yet  showing  at  times  a  fondness  for  a  chat  about  all 
sorts  of  things.  This  ordinary  exterior,  however,  made  it  as 
difficult  for  me,  as  in  the  case  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  to  persuade 
myself  that  he  was  destined  to  be  one  of  the  greatest  arbiters 
of  human  fortunes."  Yet  Fremont,  who  saw  him  at  this  time, 
discovered  in  him  "  the  soldierly  qualities  of  self-poise,  mod- 
esty, decision,  attention  to  detail." 

Grant  had  never  been  brought  into  contact  with  men  of 
public  reputation  and  had  no  influential  friends  to  push  his 
fortunes  when  the  Civil  War  opened  to  him  an  opportunity. 
His  skill  as  a  drill-master  was  discovered  by  accident,  and  this 
secured  an  opportunity  for  him  to  go  to  the  Illinois  capital 
with  the  Galena  company  he  had  been  drilling.  He  attracted 
the  attention  of  Governor  Yates  and  was  given  a  clerical  posi- 
tion in  the  adjutant-general's  office  in  filling  out  army  forms. 
When  his  appointment  as  colonel  to  an  unruly  volunteer  regi- 
ment followed,  he  at  once  gave  proof  of  the  education  he  had 
acquired  at  West  Point  and  his  experience  of  fifteen  years' 
service  in  the  regular  army. 

In  executing  his  first  orders  to  take  the  field,  he  astonished 
his  superiors  by  marching  his  regiment  across  country  instead 
of  moving  it  comfortably  by  rail.  And  when  the  laggards 
of  the  regiment  were  compelled  to  march  in  their  stocking  feet

GRANT— ON   HIS  FIRST  TRIP   NORTH 


The  war  is  over.  Grant  has  received  in  a  magnanimous  spirit,  rarely  paralleled  in 
history,  the  surrender  of  Lee.  Here  he  appears  in  Philadelphia  on  his  first  trip  North 
after  the  war.  His  bearing  is  that  of  a  man  relieved  of  a  vast  responsibility,  but 
with  the  marks  of  it  still  upon  him.  He  is  thinner  than  the  full-chested  soldier  in 
the  photograph  taken  in  1803,  after  the  fall  of  Vicksburg.  His  dress  is  careless,  as 
always,  but  shows  more  attention  than  when  he  was  in  the  field.  He  looks  out  of 
the  picture  with  the  unflinching  eyes  that  had  been  able  to  penetrate  the  future  and 
see  the  wisdom  of  the  plan  that  proved  the  final  undoing  of  the  Confederacy.

at  the  hour  designated,  they  learned  that  "  (i  a.m.  "  with  their 
new  colonel  meant  six  o'clock  in  the  morning.  Another  revel- 
ation came  when  they  first  faced  him  on  parade,  and  their 
vociferous  demands  for  a  speech  were  met  by  the  terse  reply, 
"  Men,  go  to  your  quarters."  Thus,  in  various  ways,  they 
learned  from  day  to  day  that  they  were  in  the  hands  of  a  man 
who  understood  the  trade  of  war. 

It  was  precisely  because  he  was  a  master-workman  at  his 
trade  that  Grant  was  able  to  make  his  personal  qualities  effect- 
ive when  opportunity  was  given  him.  He  was  limited  by  the 
imperfections  of  the  instruments  he  had  at  hand  and  was  sub- 
jected to  criticism  accordingly,  as  at  Shiloh,  April  6,  1802, 
where  his  failure  to  protect  his  camp  is  explained  by  a  fear  lest 
a  display  of  apprehension  might  demoralize  troops  misled  by 
the  ignorant  cry  of  "  spades  to  the  rear,"  which  then  filled  the 
air.  They  would  have  regarded  defensive  measures  as  an  evi- 
dence of  weakness  and  cowardice,  and  confidence  is  an  essential 
factor  in  the  management  of  raw  troops,  of  which  both  the 
armies  were  then  composed.  They  had  at  that  time  advanced 
but  one  stage  beyond  the  condition  of  an  armed  mob.  only 
partially  responsive  to  the  skilled  handling  of  the  educated  and 
trained  soldier. 

Previous  to  the  battle  of  Pittsburg  Landing,  as  Shiloh 
is  also  called,  Grant  had  given  proof  of  his  energy  and  his 
promptness  in  taking  the  initiative  in  the  occupation  of  Padu- 
cah,  Kentucky,  September  6,  1861:  in  the  comparatively  tri- 
fling affair  at  Belmont,  Missouri,  November  7,  1861;  and  in 
his  important  success  in  the  capture  of  Fort  Donelson  on  the 
Cumberland  River,  Tennessee,  in  February,  1862,  where  he  had 
the  efficient  assistance  of  the  gunboats,  under  Flag-Officer 
Foote.  These  successes  increased  his  confidence  in  himself, 
as  back  came  the  echo  of  exultant  popular  approval  when  the 
country  saw  how  capable  this  man  was  of  accomplishing  great 
results  with  troops  lacking  in  arms,  equipment,  transpor- 
tation,   and    supplies,    as    well    as    in    organization,    but    who

GRANT  IN   18G5— THK   ZENITH   OF  HIS  CAREER 


Behind  Grant  in  1865  lay  all  his  victories  on  the  field  of  battle;  before  him  the  highest  gift  within  the  power  of  the  American  people — 
the  presidency.  He  says  in  his  memoirs  that  after  Vicksburg  he  had  a  presentment  that  he  was  to  brirg  the  war  to  a  successful  end 
and  become  the  head  of  the  nation,  ('.rant's  sturdy,  persistent  Scottish  ancestry  stood  him  in  good  stead.  He  was  a  descendant  of 
Matthew  Grant,  one  of  the  settlers  of  Windsor.  Connecticut,  in  1635,  and  a  man  of  much  importance  in  the  infant  colony.  His  Ameri- 
can ancestors  were  fighting  stock.  His  great-grandfather.  Noah  (Jrant.  held  a  military  commission  in  the  French  and  Indian  War, 
and  his  grandfather,  also  named  Noah,  fought  in  the  Revolution.  Henry  Ward  Beecher  summed  up  the  causes  of  Grant's  meteoric 
rise  from  store  clerk  in  1801,  to  president  in  1869,  as  follows:  "Grant  was  available  and  lucky."  His  dominant  trait  was  determination. 


Mlussra  ft,  (grant 


comprehended  the  significance  of  his  foe's  weakness  in  the 
same  respects. 

Grant  had  learned  that  if  he  did  not  run  away  his 
antagonists  were  likely  to  do  so,  and  he  had  ascertained  the 
potency  of  the  formulas  with  which  his  name  was  associated: 
"  No  terms  except  unconditional  and  immediate  surrender,-' 
and  "  I  propose  to  move  immediately  upon  your  works."  This 
met  the  temper  of  the  time,  inpatient  of  strategy  and  paper 
plans  and  demanding  tangible  results. 

The  circumstances  which  led  to  Grant's  resignation  from 
the  army,  July  31,  1854,  however  they  might  have  been  ex- 
plained by  those  who  knew  him  best,  had  created  a  distrust 
of  him  in  the  minds  of  his  military  superiors,  Halleck  and 
McClellan,  so  that  he  was  left  wholly  dependent  upon  works 
accomplished  for  his  recognition  by  the  North  and  at  Wash- 
ington. He  neither  sought  nor  obtained  favor  from  his  su- 
periors; he  made  no  complaint  of  insufficient  support,  as  so 
many  did,  but  doggedly  pursued  a  consistent  course  of  doing 
the  best  he  could  with  what  the  War  Department  placed  at  his 
disposal,  learning  from  his  successes  and  profiting  by  his  mis- 
takes as  well  as  by  those  of  the  foe. 

There  was  one  who  was  superior  to  this  professional  dis- 
trust of  Grant,  and  that  was  Abraham  Lincoln.  He  had  found 
a  man  who  could  accomplish,  and  the  fortune  of  that  man  was 
thenceforth  secure  in  the  hands  of  the  chief  executive.  After 
Shiloh,  Grant  fully  realized  that  the  country  had  entered  upon 
a  long  and  desperate  struggle,  and  he  shaped  his  course  ac- 
cordingly. He  drew  the  line  of  distinction  between  friend  and 
foe  more  sharply,  and,  where  he  found  it  necessary,  directed 
his  warfare  against  the  property  as  well  as  the  persons  of  those 
in  arms  against  him,  and  their  abettors.  Thus  he  passed  an- 
other landmark  in  his  progress  to  final  success. 

Another  essential  lesson  was  to  be  learned.  That  came 
when  a  colonel,  December  20.  1802,  surrendered  his  depot  of

GRANT  IN   CHARACTERISTIC   POSE,   WITH  HIS  STAFF  IN   1864 


The  indifferent  attitude  of  the  general-in-chief  is  most  characteristic.  Grant  had  begun  the  investment  of 
Petersburg  when  this  photograph  was  taken.  Around  him  are  the  men  who  had  followed  him  faithfully 
through  the  faith-shaking  campaigns  of  the  Wilderness.  He  never  made  known  his  plans  for  an  advance  to 
anyone,  but  his  calm  confidence  communicated  itself  to  all  who  listened  to  him.  In  the  most  critical  moments 
he  manifested  no  perceptible  anxiety,  but  gave  his  orders  with  coolness  and  deliberation.  At  the  left  of  the 
photograph  sits  General  John  A.  Rawlins,  who  has  foresworn  his  customary  mustache  and  beard  which  the 
next  picture  shows  him  as  wearing.  He  was  first  aide-de-camp  to  Grant,  then  assistant  adjutant-general 
and  chief  of  staff.  Behind  Grant,  who  stands  in  the  center  with  one  hand  thrust  carelessly  into  his  pocket, 
sits  Lieutenant  Frederick  Grant,  later  major-general  in  the  United  States  Army.  In  front  of  Grant  stands 
Colonel  M.  P>.  Ryan,  and  on  the  extreme  right  sits  Colonel  Ely  S.  Parker,  military  secretary,  who  was  a  full- 
blooded  Indian,  a  grandnephew  of  the  famous  Red  Jacket,  and  chief  of  the  tribes  known  as  the  Six  Nations. 


supplies  at  Holly  Springs  and  compelled  General  Grant  to  sub- 
sist his  army  of  thirty  thousand  men  upon  the  country  for  two 
weeks,  his  communications  with  his  rear  being  severed  at  the 
same  time  by  Forrest's  enterprising  Confederate  cavalry. 
Grant  was  preparing  to  move  against  Vieksburg  at  the  time, 
and  the  surrender  of  that  place,  July  4,  1863,  followed  a 
march  overland  to  its  rear  from  Bruinsburg,  April  30,  1863, 
without  supplies  for  his  troops,  other  than  those  obtained  from 
the  country  as  he  advanced,  Grant  carrying  no  personal  bag- 
gage himself  but  a  toothbrush.  Sherman,  who  protested  most 
vigorously  against  this  hazardous  movement,  nevertheless  later 
on  applied  the  lesson  it  taught  him  when  on  his  march  to  the 
sea,  in  1864,  he  broke  through  the  hollow  shell  of  the  Confed- 
eracy and  closed  it  in  from  the  south,  while  Grant  advanced 
from  the  north,  and  crashed  the  armies  of  Lee  and  Johnston. 

The  surrender  of  the  Southern  armies  in  April  and  May, 
1865,  put  an  end  to  military  activities,  to  be  succeeded  by  the 
contests  in  the  forum  of  political  discussion ;  the  death  of  Lincoln 
and  the  succession  of  Johnson  following  so  immediately  upon 
the  surrender  of  Lee  threw  the  whole  question  of  the  readjust- 
ment of  political  relations  between  the  North  and  the  South  into 
chaos.  In  spite  of  his  desire  and  his  effort  to  keep  within  the 
limitations  of  his  military  function.  General  Grant  found  him- 
self involved  in  the  embittered  contests  of  the  reconstruction 
period,  with  which  he  was  not  fitted  to  deal  either  by  tempera- 
ment or  training. 

The  politicians  and  the  political  activities  of  the  North 
had,  during  the  four  years  of  war,  been  a  constant  source  of 
embarrassment  to  our  soldiers  striving  to  conduct  Avar  with 
sole  reference  to  success  in  the  field.  This  had  intensified  the 
soldier's  natural  distrust  of  politicians  and  political  methods, 
and  Grant  had  never  learned  the  art  of  which  Lincoln  was  the 
supreme  master — that  of  utilizing  the  selfish  ambitions  of  men 
to  accomplish  great  patriotic  and  public  purposes.

During  his  stormy  period  of  civil  administration,  Grant 
was  like  a  landsman  tossing  upon  an  angry  sea  who  makes  his 
port  by  virtue  of  the  natural  drift  of  the  winds  and  tides  rather 
than  through  his  skill  in  navigation.  The  policies  President 
Grant  advocated  during  his  two  terms  of  office  were  sound, 
and  if  he  did  not  show  the  politician's  skill  in  availing  himself 
of  the  varying  winds  of  popular  sentiment,  he  did  exhibit  a 
statesmanlike  comprehension  of  the  measures  promotive  of  the 
best  interests  of  the  country.  Refusing  to  be  misled  by  the 
financial  heresies  of  his  time,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  they  were 
advocated  by  a  powerful  faction  in  his  own  party,  he  took  an 
uncompromising  stand  in  his  first  inaugural  in  favor  of  pay- 
ing the  public  debt  in  the  currency  of  the  world,  and  vetoed 
the  bill  to  increase  the  issues  of  the  simulacrum  of  coin,  of 
merely  local  value.  Pie  reduced  taxation  and  promoted  econ- 
omy in  Government  expenditures  and  reform  in  the  civil 
service.  He  improved  the  condition  of  our  Indian  wards:  he 
was  a  sincere  friend  of  Mexico,  against  which  he  had  fought 
in  his  youth:  he  strove  to  cultivate  good  relations  with  the 
Orientals,  and  he  established  our  intercourse  with  England 
upon  the  firm  foundations  of  the  treaty  of  Washington. 

How  strange,  how  eventful,  how  checkered  a  career  was 
this  of  the  chief  soldier  of  the  Republic!  Thirty-two  years  of 
unconscious  preparation  for  a  great  career  in  the  bucolic  ex- 
periences of  his  youth,  in  his  training  at  the  Military  Academy 
and  in  war.  followed  by  seven  years  of  a  life  which  taught  the 
bitterest  lessons  of  humility  and  self-abnegation.  Next,  a 
rapid  advance  to  a  position  which  made  him  during  more  than 
twenty  years  a  chief  among  those  upon  whom  the  attention  of 
the  world  was  focused ;  then  a  further  descent  into  the  valley  of 
misfortune,  until  the  final  heroic  struggle  with  the  conqueror 
of  us  all  once  more  centered,  upon  him  the  affectionate  interest 
of  his  countrymen  and  the  sympathetic  attention  of  the  world.

ROBERT  E.    LEE 

By  William   P.  Trent 
Professor  of  English  Literature  in  Columbia  University 

GENERAL  LEE  lias  been  the  only  great  man  with 
whom  I  have  been  thrown  who  has  not  dwindled  upon 
a  near  approach."  This  is  the  significant  remark  of  one  of  his 
personal  friends.  Major  A.  R.  H.  Hanson  of  the  Confederate 
artillery.  The  present  writer,  who  never  had  the  privilege 
of  seeing  General  Tee.  finds  himself,  in  a  sense,  completely 
in  accord  with  the  veteran  staff-officer,  since  he.  too.  can  say 
that  of  all  the  great  figures  in  history  and  literature  whom 
he  has  had  occasion  to  study  through  hooks,  no  one  has 
stood  out  freer  from  human  imperfections,  of  whatever  sort, 
than  the  man  and  soldier  upon  whom  were  centered  the  affec- 
tions, the  admiration,  and  the  hopes  of  the  Southern  people 
during  the  great  crisis  of  their  history.  General  Lee  is  the  hero 
of  his  surviving  veterans,  of  his  fellow  Virginians  and  South- 
erners, of  many  of  those  Americans  of  the  North  and  West 
against  whom  he  fought,  and  of  his  biographers.  He  is  the 
Hector  of  a  still-unwritten  Iliad — a  fact  which  the  sketch  that 
follows  cannot  prove,  any  more  than  it  can  set  forth  his  claims 
to  military  fame  in  an  adequately  expert  fashion,  hut  to  the 
truth  of  which  it  may  perhaps  bring  a  small  bit  of  not  valueless 
testimony — the  testimony  of  personal  conviction.* 

Robert  Edward  Lee,  the  third  son  of  the  cavalry  leader 
"Light  Horse  Harry"  Lee  by  his  second  wife,  Anne  Hill 
Carter,  was  born  at  the  family  mansion,  '*  Stratford,"  in 
Westmoreland  County,  Virginia,  on  January  19.  ISO?.     On 

*For  a  fuller,  though  necessarily  limited  treatment  of  Lee's  eharacter 
and  career  reference  may  he  made  to  the  writer's  volume  in  the  "Beacon 
Biographies,"  which  has  guided  him  in  the  present  sketch.

"LEE   WAS  ESSENTIALLY   A   VIRGINIAN" 


Old  Christ  Church  at  Alexandria.  Virginia.  The  church  attended  by  both  Washington  and  Lee  calls  up  associations  that  explain  the 
reference  of  General  Adams.  In  1811,  at  the  age  of  four.  Robert  E.  Lee  removed  from  Westmoreland  County  to  Alexandria,  which 
remained  his  home  until  he  entered  West  Point,  in  1825.  During  these  years  he  was  gaining  his  education  from  private  tutors  and 
devoting  himself  to  the  care  of  his  invalid  mother.  Many  a  Sunday  he  passed  through  the  trees  around  this  church,  of  which  Washington 
had  been  one  of  the  first  vestrymen,  to  occupy  the  pew  that  is  still  pointed  out  to  visitors.  The  town  serves  to  intensify  love  of  Virginia; 
here  Braddock  made  his  headquarters  before  marching  against  the  French,  in  I7S5,  with  young  George  Washington  as  an  aide  on  his 
staff;  and  here  on  April  I3th  of  that  year  the  Governors  of  New  York.  Massachusetts,  Pennsylvania,  Maryland,  and  Virginia  had  nut. 
in  order  to  determine  upon  plans  for  the  expedition.  In  the  vicinity  were  Mount  Vernon,  the  estate  of  Washington,  and  Arlington, 
wliich    remained  in  the  family  of  Washington's  wife.     The   whole   region   was  therefore  full  of  inspiration    for  the  youthful  Lee. 


both  sides  he  came  of  the  best  stock  of  his  native  State.  When 
he  was  four  years  old,  his  father  removed  to  Alexandria  in  order 
to  secure  better  schooling  for  the  eight  children.  Later,  the  old 
soldier  was  compelled  to  go  to  the  West  Indies  and  the  South 
in  search  of  health,  and  it  came  to  pass  that  Robert,  though 
a  mere  boy,  was  obliged  to  constitute  himself  the  nurse  and 
protector  of  his  invalid  mother.  The  beautiful  relation  thus 
established  accounts  in  part  for  the  blended  dignity  and  charm 
of  his  character.  It  does  not  account  for  his  choice  of  a  profes- 
sion, but  perhaps  that  is  sufficiently  explained  by  the  genius 
for  the  soldier's  calling  which  he  must  have  inherited  from  his 
father.  As  with  Milton  before  him,  the  piety  and  purity  of 
his  youth  were  inseparably  combined  with  grace  and  strength. 

He  entered  West  Point  in  1825  on  an  appointment  secured 
by  Andrew  Jackson,  and  he  graduated  four  years  later  with  the 
second  highest  honors  of  the  class  and  an  extraordinarily  per- 
fect record.  Appointed  second  lieutenant  of  engineers,  he 
hastened  home  to  receive  the  blessing  of  his  dying  mother. 
Two  years  later  (June,  1831),  after  work  on  the  fortifications 
at  Hampton  Roads,  he  was  married,  at  the  beautiful  estate  of 
Arlington  on  the  Potomac,  to  Mary  Randolph  Custis,  grand- 
daughter of  Washington's  wife,  a  lovely  and  accomplished 
young  woman  destined  to  be  a  fitting  helpmeet.  As  his  father- 
in-law  was  wealthy.  Pee,  who  loved  country  life,  must  have 
been  tempted  to  settle  down  at  Arlington  to  manage  the  estate 
that  would  one  day  pass  to  his  wife,  but  his  genuine  devotion 
to  his  profession  prevailed,  and  he  went  on  building  coast  de- 
fenses. 

In  18.34,  he  was  transferred  to  Washington  as  first  lieu- 
tenant assisting  the  chief  engineer  of  the  army.  He  was  thus 
enabled  to  live  at  Arlington,  but,  while  in  no  sense  of  the  term 
a  society  man,  he  also  saw  something  of  life  at  the  capital. 
Three  years  later  he  was  sent  West  to  superintend  work  on  the 
upper  Mississippi.     His  plans  were  approved  and  well  carried

LEE   IN    1850 
FROM  THE  ORIGINAL  DAGUERREOTYPE— WITHOUT  THE  UNIFORM 

PAINTED  ON  LATER 


Through  the  courtesy  of  General  G.  W.  C.  Lee — who  furnished  information  of 
much  value  concerning  several  portraits  in  this  chapter — there  is  reproduced  above 
the  actual  appearance  of  his  distinguished  father  in  1850.  This  portrait  was 
copied,  embellished  with  a  uniform  painted  on  by  hand,  and  widely  circulated. 
To  study  the  unretouched  original  is  particularly  interesting.  Lee  at  this  period 
was  in  Baltimore,  in  charge  of  defenses  then  being  constructed.  Three  years  before, 
in  the  Mexican  War,  he  had  posted  batteries  before  Vera  Cruz  so  that  the  town  was 
reduced  in  a  week.  After  each  of  the  battles  of  Cerro  Gordo,  Churubusco,  and  Cha- 
pultepec,  he  received  promotion,  and  for  his  services  in  the  last  he  was  breveted 
colonel.  A  born  soldier,  the  son  of  a  soldier,  this  handsome  young  man  is  not  as 
handsome  by  far  as  the  superb  general  who  later  lent  grace  and  dignity  to  the  Confed- 
erate gray.    He  little  realized  the  startling  future  when  this  photograph  was  taken. 


out;  he  was  made  captain  in  18.'J8,  and,  meanwhile,  leading  a 
somewhat  uneventful  life,  he  slowly  acquired  a  reputation  as 
a  reliable  officer.  In  1811,  he  was  put  in  charge  of  the  defenses 
of  New  York,  and  in  this  position  he  remained  until  the  out- 
break of  the  Mexican  War. 

The  part  he  played  at  this  crisis  throws  much  light  upon 
his  character  and  his  after  career.  lie  distinguished  himself 
in  Mexico  more  brilliantly,  perhaps,  than  any  other  officer  of  his 
years,  and  thus  he  gave  proof  of  his  native  military  bent  and  of 
the  thoroughness  with  which  he  had  studied  the  art  of  war. 
He  was  not  in  sympathy  with  the  political  "  Jingoes  "  of  the 
time,  a  fact  which  affords  a  measure  of  his  mental  rectitude. 
But  he  was  modestly  indisposed  to  speak  out  upon  political 
matters,  being,  as  he  conceived,  a  soldier  charged  with  exe- 
cuting the  will  of  his  country  as  expressed  by  its  statesmen. 

It  might  have  been  predicted  that,  in  the  event  of  a  civil 
war,  such  a  man  would  side  with  that  part  of  the  nation  in 
which  he  was  horn  and  bred,  that  his  services  would  be  strictly 
military  in  character,  that  the  thought  of  making  himself  a  dic- 
tator or  even  of  interfering  with  the  civil  administration  woidd 
never  cross  his  mind.  He  would  exhibit  the  highest  virtues  of 
the  soldier  and  the  private  citizen;  he  would  not,  like  Washing- 
ton, go  farther  and  exhibit  the  highest  virtues  of  the  states- 
man. It  is  probably  best  for  his  own  fame  and  for  the  Nation 
that  this  should  have  been  so.  The  Republic  is  fortunate  in 
possessing  three  men,  each  consummate  in  private  character, 
two  illustrious  in  the  separate  spheres  of  military  and  civil 
command,  Lee  the  soldier,  and  Lincoln  the  statesman,  and 
one  unique  in  combining  the  two  high  orders  of  genius,  the 
greatest  of  Americans,  the  "  Father  of  his  Country." 

At  the  beginning  of  the  Mexican  War,  Lee  was  attached 
to  General  Wool's  command  in  the  Northern  departments.  He 
attracted  notice  chiefly  by  his  brilliant  scouting.  Early  in 
1817,  at  the  request  of  General  Winfield  Scott,  he  joined  the

ARLINGTON,  THE   HOME  OF  LEE,    FROM   THE   GREAT  OAK 


The  beautiful  estate  by  the  Potomac  came  to  General  Lee  from  the  family  of  George  Washington.  While  Lee,  as  a  boy  anil  youth,  lived 
in  Alexandria  he  was  a  frequent  caller  at  the  Arlington  estate,  where  Mary  Lee  Custis,  the  only  daughter  of  George  Washington  Parke 
(ust  is.  was  his  companion  and  playfellow.  Before  he  had  completed  his  course  at  West  Point  the  friendship  had  ripened  into  love 
and  the  two  became  engaged.  Her  father  is  said  to  have  considered  her  entitled  to  a  more  wealthy  match  than  young  Lee.  who  looked 
forward  to  a  career  in  the  army.  Rut  in  1881,  two  years  after  his  graduation,  the  ceremony  was  performed  and  on  the  death  of  Custis 
in  1837,  the  estate  passed  into  the  possession  of  Robert  E.  Lee  as  trustee  for  his  children.  The  management  had  already  been  in  his 
hands  for  many  years,  and  though  constantly  absent  on  duty,  ho  had  ordered  it  so  skilfully  that  its  value  steadily  increased.  On 
the  outbreak  of  the  ( 'ivil  War  and  his  decision  to  cast  in  his  lot  with  Virginia,  he  was  obliged  to  leave  the  mansion  that  overlooked  the 
national  capital.  It  at  once  fell  into  the  hands  of  Federal  troops.  Nevermore  was  lie  to  dwell  in  the  majestic  home  that  had  sheltered 
his  family  for  thirty  years.  When  the  war  was  over,  he  gave  the  Pamunkcy  estate  to  his  son  Robert  and  himself  retired  to  the  quiet, 
simple  life  of  Lexington,  Virginia,  as  president  of  the  institution  that  is  now  known,  in  his  honor,  as  Washington  and  Lee  University.

staff'  of  that  commander  before  Vera  Cruz.  In  the  fighting 
that  ensued  he  displayed  a  skill  and  bravery,  not  unmixed 
with  rashness,  that  won  him  high  praise  from  his  superior.  In 
the  reconnaissances  before  the  victory  of  Contreras,  he  specially 
distinguished  himself,  and  this  was  also  the  case  at  the  battle 
of  Chapultepec,  where  he  was  wounded.  Having  already  been 
brevetted  major  and  lieutenant-colonel,  he  was  now  brevetted 
colonel,  and  he  took  his  share  in  the  triumphant  entry  of  the 
city  of  Mexico  on  September  1-1,  1847. 

He  was  soon  busy  once  more,  employing  his  talents  as 
engineer  in  the  surveys  made  of  the  captured  city,  and  showing 
his  character  in  endeavoring  to  reconcile  the  testy  Scott  with 
his  subordinates.  Later,  he  was  put  in  charge  of  the  defenses 
of  Baltimore,  and  later  still,  in  1852,  he  was  made  superintend- 
ent of  the  Military  Academy  at  West  Point.  During  his  ad- 
ministration the  discipline  was  improved  and  the  course  of 
study  lengthened.  In  1855,  he  was  promoted  lieutenant-colonel 
of  the  Second  Cavalry,  and  in  the  spring  of  the  next  year  he 
joined  his  regiment  in  Avestern  Texas.  Pursuit  of  maraud- 
ing Indians  and  study  of  animals  and  plants  employed  his 
hours,  but  he  suffered  from  his  separation  from  his  wife  and 
children,  domestic  affection  being  as  characteristic  a  trait  as 
his  genius  for  battle.  In  July,  1857,  the  command  of  his 
regiment  devolved  upon  him,  and  three  months  later  he  was 
called  to  Arlington  on  account  of  the  death  of  his  father-in- 
law,  Mr.  Custis.  Despite  the  change  in  his  circumstances,  he 
returned  to  his  command  in  Texas  and  remained  until  the  au- 
tumn of  1859,  when  he  was  given  leave  to  visit  his  family.  It 
was  during  this  visit  that  he  was  ordered  with  a  company  of 
marines  to  Harper's  Ferry  to  dislodge  John  Brown.  Then, 
after  giving  the  legislature  of  Virginia  some  advice  with  re- 
gard to  the  organization  of  the  militia,  he  took  command  of 
the  DejJartment  of  Texas.     From  afar  he  watched  sadly  the

When  Robert  E.  Lee  came  over  from  Alexandria  as  a  boy,  to  play  soldier  in  the  gardens  and  grounds  around 
this  beautiful  mansion  overlooking  the  Potomac,  he  could  hardly  have  thought  of  its  occupation  during  his 
life-time  by  a  hostile  force  determined  to  bend  his  native  State  to  its  will.  When  he  was  graduated  from  West 
Point  in  1829  and  proudly  donned  the  army  blue,  he  little  imagined  that  thirty-two  years  later,  after  he  had 
paced  his  room  all  night  in  terrible  perplexity,  he  would  doff  the  blue  for  another  color  sworn  to  oppose  it.  The 
estate  about  Arlington  house  was  a  fair  and  spacious  domain.  Every  part  of  it  had  rung  in  his  early  youth 
and  young  manhood  with  the  voice  of  her  who  later  became  his  wife.  He  had  whispered  his  love  in  its  shaded 
alleys,  and  here  his  children  had  come  into  the  world.  Yet  here  stand  men  with  swords  and  muskets  ready 
to  take  his  life  if  they  should  meet  him  on  the  field  of  battle.  Arlington,  once  famous  for  its  hospitality,  has 
since  extended  a  silent  welcome  to  20,000  dead.  Lee's  body  is  not  here,  but  reposes  in  a  splendid  marble 
tomb  at  Washington  and  Lee  University,  where  he  ruled  with  simple  dignity  after  the  finish  of  the  war.

drift  of  the  two  .sections  toward  war,  and  in  February,  1861, 
upon  the  secession  of  Texas,  he  was  recalled  to  Washington. 

It  is  needless  to  discuss  exhaustively  Lee's  attitude  on 
the  questions  that  were  dividing  the  country.  lie  did  not  be- 
lieve in  slavery  or  secession,  but,  on  the  other  hand,  he  did  not 
admit  that  the  general  Government  had  the  right  to  invade 
and  coerce  sovereign  States,  and  he  shared  the  conviction  of 
his  fellow  Southerners  that  their  section  had  been  aggrieved 
and  was  threatened  with  grave  losses.  He  sided  with  those 
whom  he  regarded  as  his  "  people,"  and  they  have  continued 
to  honor  his  decision,  which,  as  we  have  seen,  was  inevitable, 
given  his  training  and  character. 

It  was  equally  inevitable,  in  view  of  the  oaths  he  had  taken, 
and  of  the  existence  of  theories  of  government  to  which  he  did 
not  subscribe,  that  his  entering  the  service  of  the  Confederacy 
should  seem  to  many  Americans  a  wilful  act  of  treason.  His 
conduct  will  probably  continue  to  furnish  occasion  for  censure 
to  those  who  judge  actions  in  the  light  of  rigid  political,  social, 
and  ecclesiastical  theories  instead  of  in  the  light  of  circum- 
stances and  of  the  phases  of  character.  To  his  admirers,  on 
the  other  hand,  who  will  increase  rather  than  diminish,  Lee 
will  remain  a  hero  without  fear  and  without  reproach. 

Lee  spent  the  weeks  immediately  following  the  inaugura- 
tion of  Lincoln  in  a  state  of  great  nervous  tension.  There 
seems  to  be  little  reason  to  doubt  that,  had  he  listened  to  the 
overtures  made  him,  he  coidd  have  had  charge  of  the  Union 
forces  to  be  put  in  the  field.  On  April  20,  1801,  he  resigned 
the  colonelcy  of  the  First  Cavalry,  and  on  the  23d  he  accepted 
the  command  of  the  military  forces  of  Virginia  in  a  brief 
speech  worthy  of  the  career  upon  which  he  was  entering.  A 
little  less  than  a  month  later  he  became  a  brigadier  of  the 
Confederacy,  that  being  then  the  highest  grade  in  the  Southern 
service. 

For  some  time  he  chafed  at  not  being  allowed  to  take  the 
field,  but  he  could  not  be  spared  as  an  organizer  of  troops  and      ;

WHERE   LEE   STOOD   SUPREME— THE   WILDERNESS  IN    1864 


From  the  point  of  view  of  the  mil- 
itary student  Lee's  consummate 
feats  of  generalship  were  performed 
in  the  gloom  of  the  Wilderness. 
On  this  ground  he  presented  an  al- 
ways unbroken  front  against  which 
Grant  dashed  his  battalions  in  vain. 
Never  were  Lee's  lines  here  broken; 
the  assailants  must  always  shift 
their  ground  to  seek  a  fresh  oppor- 
tunity for  assault.  At  this  spot  on 
the  battlefield  of  the  Wilderness  the 
opposing  forees  lay  within  twenty- 
four  feet  of  each  other  all  night. 
The  soldiers,  too,  had  learned  by 
this  1864  campaign  to  earry  out 
orders  with  judgment  of  their  own. 
The  rank  and  file  grew  to  be  ex- 
cellent connoisseurs  of  the  merits  of 
a  position.  "  If  they  only  save  a 
finger  it  will  do  some  good,"  was 
General  Longstreet's  reply,  when 
his  engineer  officers  complained 
that  their  work  on  Marye's  Hill 
was  being  spoiled  by  being  built 
higher  by  the  gunners  of  the  Wash- 
ington artillery — who  had  to  fight

behind  them.  Fortius  reason  the 
significance  of  the  lines  as  shown  in 
many  war  maps  is  often  very  puz- 
zling to  the  students  of  to-day,  who 
have  never  seen  the  actual  field  of 
operations  and  have  no  other  guide. 
Much  of  the  ground  disputed  by  the 
contending  forces  in  our  Civil  War 
was  quite  unlike  the  popular  con- 
ception of  a  battlefield,  derived 
from  descriptions  of  European  cam- 
paigns, or  from  portrayals  of  the 
same,  usually  fanciful.  For  at  this 
variety  of  warfare,  Lee  was  a 
master,  as  well  as  on  the  rolling 
open  plains  of  the  Virginia  farm. 
The  portrait  of  Lee  opposite  was 
taken  during  the  campaign  pre- 
ceding this  test  of  the  Wilderness. 
The  reproduction  here  is  directly 
from  the  photograph — tuken  at 
Lee's  first  sitting  in  war-time,  and 
his  only  one  "  in  the  field."  Re- 
productions of  this  picture  painted, 
engraved,  and  lithographed  were 
widely  circulated  after  the  war. 
The  likeness  was   much   impaired.

an  adviser  to  President  Davis.  While  others  were  winning 
laurels  at  First  Manassas  (Bull  Run)  he  was  trying  to  direct 
from  a  distance  the  Confederate  attempts  to  hold  what  is  now 
West  Virginia,  and  in  August  he  took  personal  charge  of  the 
difficult  campaign.  There  is  no  denying  the  fact  that  he  was 
not  successful.  His  subordinates  were  not  in  accord,  his  men 
were  ill  supplied,  the  season  was  inclement,  and  the  country 
was  unfavorable  to  military  operations.  Perhaps  a  less  kindly 
commander  might  have  accomplished  something;  it  is  more  cer- 
tain that  Lee  did  not  deserve  the  harsh  criticism  to  which  for 
the  moment  he  was  subjected. 

He  was  next  assigned  to  command  the  Department  of 
South  Carolina,  Georgia,  and  Florida,  and  he  showed  remark- 
able skill  in  laying  down  plans  of  coast  defenses  which  long 
held  the  Union  fleet  at  bay.  In  March,  18(52,  he  was  recalled 
to  Richmond  to  direct  the  military  operations  of  the  Confed- 
eracy under  President  Davis,  who  was  not  a  merely  nominal 
commander-in-chief.  Lee's  self-control  and  balance  of  char- 
acter enabled  him  to  fill  the  post  without  friction,  and  for  a 
time  he  was  permitted  to  be  with  his  wife  and  children,  who 
Mere  exiles  from  the  confiscated  estate  of  Arlington.  He  pre- 
pared men  and  supplies  to  opjiose  McClellan's  advance  toward 
Richmond,  and  successfully  resisted  "  Joe  "  Johnston's  plan 
to  withdraw  troops  from  the  South  and  risk  all  on  a  pitched 
battle  with  MeClellan  near  the  capital.  When,  later,  Johnston 
was  wounded  at  Seven  Pines,  the  command  of  the  Confederate 
army  on  the  Chickahominy  devolved  upon  Lee  (June,  1862) 
and  he  was  at  last  in  a  position  to  make  a  fidl  display  of  his 
genius  as  a  strategist  and  an  offensive  fighter. 

He  at  once  decided,  against  the  opinions  of  most  of  his 
officers,  not  to  fall  back  nearer  Richmond,  and,  after  sending 
J.  E.  B.  Stuart  on  a  scouting  circuit  of  the  Union  army,  he 
prepared  for  the  offensive.  The  attack  made  on  June  26th

THE  ORIGINAL 

WAR-TIME   PHOTOGRAPHS 

OF 

ROBERT  E.  LEE 


"I  believe  there  were  none  of  the 
little  things  of  life  so  irksome  to  him 
as  having  liis  picture  taken  in  any 
way,"  writes  Captain  Robert  E.  Lee 
of  his  illustrious  father.  Lee  was 
photographed  in  war-time  on  three 
occasions  only:  one  was  in  the  field, 
about  '62-'63;  the  second  in  Rich- 
mond in  1863;  and  the  third  imme- 
diately after  the  surrender,  at  liis 
Richmond  home.  Several  of  the 
portraits  resulting  have  appeared  in 
other  volumes  of  this  history;  all 
the  rest  are  presented  with  tliis  chap- 
ter. Lee's  first  sitting  produced  the 
full-length  on  page  235,  Volume  II, 
and  the  full-face  on  the  page  pre- 
ceding this — the  popular  portrait, 
much  lithographed  and  engraved, 
but  rarely  shown,  as  here,  from  an 
original  photograph,  with  the  expres- 
sion not  distorted  into  a  false  amia- 
bility, but  calm  and  dignified  as  in 
nature.  Lee's  second  sitting  was 
before  Vannerson's  camera  in  Rich- 
mond. 1863.  Richmond  ladies  had 
made  fur  their  hero  a  set  of  shirts, 
and  had  begged  him  to  sit  for  a  por- 
trait. Lee.  yielding,  courteously 
wore  one  of  the  gifts.  The  amateur 
shirtmaking  is  revealed  in  the  set  of 
the  collar,  very  high  in  the  neck,  as 
seen  in  the  photographs  on  this  page.

casion,  a  full-length,  is  reproduced  in 
Volume  IX,  page  123.  The  third 
photographing  of  Lee  was  done  by 
Brady.  It  was  the  first  opportunity 
of  the  camera  wizard  since  the  war 
began  to  preserve  for  posterity  the 
fine  features  of  the  Southern  hero. 
The  position  selected  by  Brady  was 
under  the  back  porch  of  I^ec's  home 
in  Richmond,  near  the  basement 
door,  on  account  of  the  better  light. 
The  results  were  excellent.  Tliree 
appear  with  this  chapter:  a  magnifi- 
cent three-quarter  view,  enlarged  on 
page  63;  a  full-length,  on  page  69; 
and  a  group  with  Custis  Lee  and 
Colonel  Taylor,  on  page  67.  An- 
other view  of  this  group  will  be 
found  on  page  83  of  Volume  I;  and 
the  fifth  of  these  Brady  pictures,  a 
seated  profile  of  Lee  alone,  on  page 
23  of  Volume  III.  An  early  daguer- 
reotypist  had  portrayed  Lee  in 
1850  as  a  young  engineer-colonel 
— see  page  55.  The  general's  later 
life  is  covered  by  his  celebrated  pho-

had  just  performed  brilliant  feats  in  the  Valley  of  Virginia 
were  not  brought  up  in  time.  The  next  day's  struggle 
resulted  in  a  Pyrrhic  victory  for  Lee,  who  was  left,  how- 
ever, in  complete  control  of  the  north  bank  of  the  Chicka- 
honiinv. 

The  remainder  of  the  great  Seven  Days'  fighting  around 
Richmond  need  not  Ik?  described.  Lee  himself  did  not  escape 
criticism;  he  was  often  badly  supported;  the  Federals,  as  at 
Malvern  Hill,  showed  themselves  to  be  gallant  foes,  but  the  net 
result  was  the  retreat  of  McClellan  to  the  shelter  of  his  gun- 
boats, the  relief  of  Richmond,  and  the  recognition  of  Lee  as 
the  chief  defender  of  the  South.  The  Confederate  commander 
was  not  fully  satisfied,  believing  that  with  proper  support  he 
ought  to  have  crushed  his  adversary.  Perhaps  he  was  oversan- 
guine.  but  it  is  clear  that  aspiring  aggressiveness  is  a  necessary 
element  in  the  character  of  a  general  who  is  to  impress  the 
imagination  of  the  world. 

His  next  procedure.  McC'lellan  having  again  begun  to 
retreat,  was  to  join  Jackson  against  Pope,  who  had  been  threat- 
ening the  Piedmont  region.  After  complicated  operations, 
in  which  the  Federal  general  showed  much  bewilderment,  and 
after  daringly  dividing  his  army  in  order  to  enable  Jackson  to 
move  on  Pope's  rear,  Lee  won  the  complete  victory  of  Second 
Manassas  on  August  30,  1802.  Despite  his  inferior  numbers, 
his  aggressiveness  and  his  ability  to  gage  his  opponents  had 
enabled  him  to  rid  Virginia  of  Federal  forces,  and  he  re- 
solved to  invade  Maryland.  Davis  acquiesced  in  his  far- 
sighted  plan,  and  the  march  began  on  September  5th.  The 
detaching  of  Jackson  to  take  Harper's  Ferry  and  the  loss  of 
one  of  Lee's  orders,  which  fell  into  MeClellan's  hands,  soon 
gave  a  somewhat  sinister  turn  to  the  campaign.  Lee's  boldness 
and  extraordinary  capacity  on  the  field  enabled  him,  however, 
to  fight  the  drawn  battle  of  Sharpsburg.  or  Antietam.  on  Sep- 
temlier  17th  with  remarkable  skill,  vet  with  dreadful  losses  to

LEE— THE  GENERAL   WHO  SHOl  LDEREL)   "ALL  THE   RESPONSIBILITY' 


The  nobility  revealed  by  the  steadfast  lips,  the  flashing  eyes  in  this  magnificent  portrait  is  reflected  by  a  happening  a  few  days  before 
its  taking.  It  was  1865.  The  forlorn  hope  of  the  Confederacy  had  failed.  Gordon  and  Fitzhngh  Lee  had  attacked  the  Federal  lines 
on  April  9th,  but  found  them  impregnable.  Lee  heard  the  news,  and  said:  "Then  there  is  nothing  left  me  but  to  go  and  sec  General 
Grant." — "Oh,  General,  what  will  history  say  to  the  surrender  of  the  army  in  the  field?" — Lee's  reply  is  among  the  finest  of  his 
utterances:  "Yes,  I  know  they  will  say  hard  things  of  us;  they  will  not  understand  how  we  were  overwhelmed  by  numbers;  but  that 
is  not  the  question,  Colonel;  the  question  is,  is  it  right  to  surrender  this  army?     If  it  is  right,  then  I  will  take  all  the  responsibility." 


both  sides.  In  the  end  he  was  forced  to  withdraw  into  Virginia, 
the  campaign,  from  at  least  the  political  point  of  view,  having 
proved  a  failure.  As  a  test  of  efficient  handling  of  troops  in 
battle,  Antietam,  however,  is  a  crowning  point  in  Lee's  mili- 
tary career. 

The  Army  of  Northern  Virginia  repassed  the  Potomac  in 
good  order,  and  Lee  took  up  his  headquarters  near  Winchester, 
doing  his  best  to  obtain  supplies  and  to  recruit  his  forces. 
Here,  as  later,  one  sees  in  him  a  figure  of  blended  dignity  and 
pathos,  making  a  deep  appeal  to  the  imagination.  His  bearing 
and  attire  befitted  the  commander  of  one  of  the  most  efficient 
armies  ever  brought  together;  yet  his  most  impressive  quali- 
ties were  his  poise,  his  considerateness  for  others,  his  forget- 
fulness  of  self.  No  choice  morsel  for  him  while  sick  and 
wounded  soldiers  were  within  reach  of  his  ministrations.  Bul- 
lets might  be  whizzing  around  him,  but  he  would  stoop  to  pick 
u\)  and  care  for  a  stunned  young  bird.  No  wonder  that  when, 
on  a  desperate  day  in  the  Wilderness,  he  attempted  to  head  a 
charge,  his  lovingly  indignant  soldiers  forced  him  back.  They 
had  visions  of  a  hapless  South  deprived  of  its  chief  champion. 
To-day  their  sons  have  visions  of  a  South  fortunate  in  being 
a  contented  part  of  a  great,  undivided  country  and  in  possess- 
ing that  choicest  of  possessions,  a  hero  in  whom  power  and 
charm  are  mingled  in  equal  measure. 

But  we  must  take  up  once  more  our  thin  thread  of  narra- 
tive. Burnside  superseded  McClellan,  and  Lee,  with  the  sup- 
port of  Longstreet  and  "  Stonewall  "  Jackson,  encountered  him 
at  Fredericksburg,  where,  on  December  13,  1802,  the  Federals 
suffered  one  of  the  most  disastrous  defeats  of  the  war.  Hooker 
succeeded  Burnside  and  began  operations  well  by  obtaining 
at  Chancellorsville  a  position  in  Lee's  rear.  Then  came  the 
tremendous  fighting  of  May  2  and  3,  1803,  followed  by  Hook- 
er's retreat  across  the  Rappahannock  on  the  0th.    The  Confed-

LEE   IN   RICHMOND  AFTER  THE   WAR 


The  quiet  distinction  and  dignity  of  the  Confederate  leader  appears  particularly  in  this  group  portrait — 
always  a  trying  ordeal  for  the  central  figure.  Superbly  calm  he  sits,  the  general  who  laid  down  arms  totally 
unembittered,  and  set  a  magnificent  example  to  his  followers  in  peace  as  he  had  in  war.  Lee  strove  after  the 
fall  of  the  Confederacy,  with  all  his  far-reaching  influence,  to  allay  the  feeling  aroused  by  four  years  of  the 
fiercest  fighting  in  history.  This  photograph  was  taken  by  Brady  in  1865,  in  the  basement  below  the  back 
porch  of  Lee's  Franklin  Street  house  in  Richmond.  On  his  right  stands  General  G.  W.  C.  Lee,  on  his  left, 
Colonel  Walter  Taylor.  This  is  one  of  five  photographs  taken  by  Brady  at  this  time.  A  second  and  third 
are  shown  on  pages  65  and  69,  a  fourth  on  page  8,'5  of  Volume  I,  and   a   fifth  on   page  23  of  Volume  III.

erate  victory  was  dearly  paid  for,  not  only  in  common  soldiers 
but  in  the  death  of  "  Stonewall  "  Jackson. 

Weakened  though  Lee  was,  he  determined  upon  another 
invasion  of  the  North — his  glorious,  but  ill-fated,  Gettys- 
burg campaign.  Was  it  justifiable  before  those  three  days 
of  fierce  fighting  that  ended  in  Pickett's  charge?  Was  Lee 
merely  candid,  not  magnanimous,  when  he  took  upon  himself 
the  responsibility  for  the  failure  of  his  brilliant  plans;  or  are 
his  biographers  in  the  right  when  they  seek  to  relieve  him  at 
the  expense  of  erring  and  recalcitrant  subordinates?  In  his 
confidence  in  himself  and  his  army,  did  he  underrate  the 
troops  and  the  commander  opposing  him?  Could  Meade,  after 
July  3d,  have  crushed  Lee  and  materially  shortened  the  war? 

However  these  military  questions  may  be  finally  answered, 
if  final  answers  are  ever  obtained,  Lee's  admirers  need  feel  little 
apprehension  for  his  fame.  The  genius  to  dare  greatly  and  the 
character  to  suffer  calmly  have  always  been  and  will  always  be 
the  chief  attributes  of  the  world's  supreme  men  of  action. 
These,  in  splendid  measure,  are  the  attributes  of  Lee,  and  they 
were  never  more  conspicuously  displayed  than  in  the  Gettys- 
burg campaign.  Success  is  not  always  a  true  measure  of  great- 
ness, but  insistence  upon  success  as  a  standard  is  a  very  good 
measure  for  a  certain  kind  of  smallness. 

Meade  not  acting  on  the  offensive,  Lee  began  to  retreat 
and  at  last  got  his  army  across  the  Potomac.  Meade  followed 
him  into  Virginia,  but  no  important  fighting  was  done  in  that 
State  during  the  remainder  of  1863,  a  year  in  which  the  Con- 
federacy fared  badly  elsewhere.  Lee  suggested  that  he  should 
be  relieved  by  a  younger  man,  but  President  Davis  was  too 
wise  to  accede,  and  the  Southern  cause  was  assured  of  its  cham- 
pion, even  though  the  gaunt  forms  of  famine  and  defeat  kept 
drawing  nearer  and  nearer. 

Lee's  army  suffered  severely  during  the  winter  of  1863- 
64  in  the  defenses  behind  the  Rapidan,  but  its  chief  bore  all 
privations  with  a  simple  Christian  fortitude  that  renders  super-

crushed  by  weight  of  numbers,  he  was  nevertheless  the  greater 
master  of  the  art  of  war.  Grant's  army  was  nearly  twice  as 
large  as  that  of  Lee,  but  this  superiority  was  almost  neutral- 
ized by  the  fact  that  he  was  taking  the  offensive  in  the  tangled 
region  known  as  the  Wilderness.  The  fighting  throughout 
May  and  June.  1864.  literally  defies  description.  Grant  at  last 
had  to  cease  maneuvering  and  to  fight  his  way  out  to  a  junc- 
tion with  Butler  on  the  James.  He  would  attack  time  and 
again  with  superb  energy,  only  to  be  thrown  back  with  heavy 
losses.  Lee  used  his  advantage  of  fighting  on  interior  lines 
and  his  greater  knowledge  of  the  country,  and  so  prevented 
any  effective  advance  on  Richmond.  Finally,  after  the  ter- 
rible slaughter  at  Cold  Harbor,  he  forced  Grant  to  cease 
hammering.  Yet.  after  all.  the  Federal  commander  was  not 
outfought.  He  had  to  submit  to  the  delay  involved  in  tak- 
ing Petersburg  before  he  could  take  Richmond,  but  the  fall 
of  the  Confederate  capital  was  inevitable,  since  his  own  losses 
could  be  made  up  and  Lee's  could  not. 

On  June  18,  1864,  Lee's  forces  joined  in  the  defense  of 
Petersburg,  and  Grant  was  soon  entrenching  himself  for  the 
siege  of  the  town.  The  war  had  entered  upon  its  final  stage, 
as  Lee  clearly  perceived.  The  siege  lasted  until  the  end  of 
March,  186.5,  Grant's  ample  supplies  rendering  his  victory  cer- 
tain, despite  the  fact  that  when  he  tested  the  fighting  quality 
of  his  adversaries  he  found  it  unimpaired.  In  one  sense  it  was 
sheer  irony  to  give  Lee.  in  February.  18(5.5.  the  commander- 
ship-in-chief  of  the  Confederate  armies:  yet  the  act  was  the  out- 
ward sign  of  a  spiritual  fact,  since,  after  all.  he  was  and  had 
long  been  the  true  Southern  commander,  and  never  more  so 
than  when  he  bore  privation  with  his  troops  in  the  wintry 
trenches  around  Petersburg. 


LEE 

AND   HIS  STAKE 

AS   THE   WAR   ENDED 


MEN 
WHO  STAYED 
THROUGH   APPOMATTOX 


These  twelve  members  of  General  Robert  E.  Lee's  staff  surrendered  with  him  at  Appomattox  Court  House,  and  with  lu'm  signed  a 
parole  drawn  up  by  Grant,  to  the  effect  that  they  would  not  take  up  arms  against  the  United  States  until  or  unless  they  were  exchanged. 
This  military  medallion  was  devised  by  the  photographer  Rockwell  during  General  Lee's  stay  in  Richmond  in  April,  1865.  These 
facts  are  furnished  by  Major  Giles  B.  Cooke  (No.  12,  above),  who  had  verified  them  by  writing  General  Lee  himself  after  the  surrender. 


Late  in  March  and  early  in  April,  the  Federals  made  Lee's 
position  untenable,  and  he  pressed  on  to  Amelia  Court  House, 
where  the  expected  supplies  failed  him,  Richmond  having 
meanwhile  surrendered  on  April  .3.  ]S().5.  Grant,  drawing 
near,  sent  Lee  on  April  7th  a  courteous  call  to  surrender.  Lee, 
still  hoping  against  hope  for  supplies,  asked  Grant's  terms. 
Before  the  final  surrender  he  took  his  chance  of  breaking 
through  the  opposing  lines,  but  found  them  too  strong.  Then 
he  sent  a  flag  of  truce  to  Grant,  and  a  little  before  noon  on 
April  9th  held  a  meeting  with  him  in  a  house  at  Appomattox 
Court  House.  It  is  superfluous  to  say  that  in  his  bearing  at  the 
interview  and  in  the  terms  he  offered  his  exhausted  foes,  Grant 
illustrated  as  completely  the  virtue  of  magnanimity  as  Lee 
did  that  of  dignified  resignation. 

With  tears  in  his  eyes,  Lee  told  his  ragged  but  still  un- 
daunted veterans  that  their  cause  was  lost.  Then  he  issued  a 
noble  address  to  the  survivors  of  his  army,  received  visits  from 
old  friends  among  his  opponents,  and  rode  away  on  "  Traveller" 
toward  Richmond.  In  the  fallen  capital,  even  the  Federal 
troops  greeted  him  with  enthusiasm,  and  he  was  at  last  once 
more  in  the  bosom  of  his  family.  In  June,  he  went  to  the  coun- 
try for  rest,  and  later  in  the  summer  he  accepted  the  presidency 
of  Washington  College  at  Lexington,  now  Washington  and 
Lee  University.  He  had  previously  refused  many  gifts  and 
offers  of  positions  which  seemed  tainted  by  mercenary  consid- 
erations. 

As  a  college  president,  General  Lee  hoth  in  character  and 
in  poise  of  intellect  ranks  with  the  first.  During  the  five  years 
of  his  administration  the  institution  prospered  financially,  and 
the  course  of  studies  was  liberally  enlarged,  no  narrow  military 
conceptions  being  allowed  to  prevail.  He  was  as  heloved  by 
bis  students  as  he  had  been  by  his  soldiers,  and  he  was  content 
with  his  small  sphere  of  influence,  declining  most  wisely  to 
accept  the  governorship  of  the   State  and  a  political  career

THE   DECLINING   YEARS 


In  these  portraits  the  bright  eyes  of  the  daring  leader  have  lost  none  of  their  fire;  the  handsome  head 
still  remains  erect.  In  October,  1805,  Lee  had  been  installed  as  president  of  Washington  ( !ollege  at 
Lexington,  Virginia,  later  named  in  his  honor  Washington  and  Lee  University.  Under  his  manage- 
ment new  chairs  were  founded,  the  scheme  of  study  enlarged,  and  from  the  moral  side  it  would  have 
been  impossible  to  secure  finer  results.  Lee's  greatness  of  soul  was  shown  in  the  way  in  which  he 
urged  the  Southern  people  loyally  to  accept  the  result  of  the  war.  On  the  morning  of  October  12, 
1870,  at  the  age  of  sixty-three,  he  died — mourned  throughout  the  Union  which  he  had  helped  to 
reunite,  and  throughout  the  civilized  world,  which  had  watched  with  admiration  his  gallani  fight  and 
nobility  of  soul.  "To  those  who  saw  his  composure  under  the  greater  and  lesser  trials  of  life, 
wrote  Colonel  William  Preston  Johnson,  his  intimate  friend,  "and  his  justice  and  forbearance  with 
the  most  unjust  and  uncharitable,  it  seemed  scarcely  credible  that  his  serene  soul  was  shaken  by  the 
evil  that  raged  around  him."  On  his  dying  bed  he  fought  over  the  great  battles  of  the  war.  How 
strongly  he  felt  his  responsibility  is  shown  by  nearly  his  last  words:   "Tell  1 1 1 1 1  he  must  come  up." 


for  which  neither  his  years  nor  his  temperament  fitted 
him. 

His  health,  which  had  begun  to  be  impaired  in  1863,  grad- 
ually failed  him.  and  in  18li',t  yrew  somewhat  alarminff.  In 
the  spring  of  1870.  he  took  a  trip  South  with  little  result,  and 
then  he  went  to  some  springs  for  the  summer.  He  resumed  his 
duties  at  the  college,  but  soon  was  taken  ill  in  consequence  of  an 
accidental  exposure,  and  after  a  short  illness  he  died  on  Octo- 
ber 12,  1870.  His  last  words  were  of  the  war  and  his  often 
dilatory  snhordinates:  "  Tell  Hill  he  must  come  up." 

Tributes  came  from  friend  and  foe.  and  now,  after  forty 
years  have  passed,  they  continue  to  come.  Lee  is  to  the  South- 
ern people  and  to  many  military  experts  in  foreign  countries 
the  greatest  commander  of  armies  that  America  has  ever  pro- 
duced. He  is  to  all  who  have  studied  his  character,  and  to 
many  who  have  merely  heard  or  read  of  him  in  a  general  way. 
one  of  the  noblest  of  men.  He  is  the  ideal  gentleman,  not 
merely  of  Nature's  making,  but  of  race  and  breeding;  in  other 
words,  a  true  aristocrat.  Yet  to  his  aristocratic  virtues,  he 
added  the  essentially  democratic  virtues,  and  he  was  an  ideal 
Christian  as  well  as  an  ideal  gentleman  and  man. 

Lee's  rank  among  the  great  men  of  the  world  is  not  so 
easy  to  determine,  yet  it  seems  clear  that  he  must  be  named 
with  the  greatest  of  all  time,  with  soldiers  like  Marlborough, 
for  example,  and  that  an  additional  luster  attaches  to  his  fame 
which  few  other  great  captains  enjoy,  since  he  attracts  sympa- 
thy and  love  almost  more  than  he  does  admiration.  More 
completely  perhaps  than  any  other  modern  man  of  Anglo- 
Saxon  stock  he  is  qualified  to  be  at  once  a  hero  of  history  and 
a  hero  of  romance.  He  is  the  representative  of  a  people  that 
lias  suffered;  hence  his  character  and  career  possess  a  unique 
spiritual  value  not  fully  to  be  estimated  by  those  who  apply 
to  him  the  normal  tests  of  historical  greatness.

WILLIAM   TECUMSEH   SHERMAN 

By  Walter  L.  Fleming,  Ph.D. 
Professor  of  History,  Louisiana  State  University 

THE  armies  of  the  United  States  were  led  in  1804—65  by 
two  generals,  to  whom,  more  than  to  any  other  military 
leaders,  was  due  the  final  victory  of  the  Northern  forces.  Both 
Grant  and  Sherman  were  Western  men;  both  were  somewhat 
unsuccessful  in  the  early  years  of  the  war  and  attained  success 
rather  late:  to  both  of  them  the  great  opportunity  finally  came, 
in  1803.  in  the  successful  movement  which  opened  the  Mis- 
sissippi, and  their  rewards  were  the  two  highest  commands 
in  the  Federal  army  and  the  personal  direction  of  the  two 
erreat  masses  of  men  which  were  to  crush  the  life  out  of  the 
weakening  Confederacy.  Grant  was  the  chief  and  Sherman 
his  lieutenant,  but  some  military  critics  hold  that  the  latter 
did  more  than  his  chief  to  bring  the  war  to  an  end.  They  were 
friends  and  were  closely  associated  in  military  matters  after 
180*2:  in  temperament  and  in  military  methods  each  supple- 
mented the  other,  and  each  enabled  the  other  to  push  his  plans 
to  success. 

William  Teeumseh  Sherman  was  born  in  Lancaster,  Ohio, 
February  8,  1820.  The  family  was  of  Xew  England  origin, 
and  had  come  to  America  from  England  in  the  seventeenth 
century.  About  two  hundred  years  later.  Sherman's  father 
and  mother  migrated  to  what  was  then  the  unsettled  West  and 
made  their  home  in  Ohio.  His  father,  a  lawyer  and  in  his  later 
years  a  justice  of  the  Ohio  Supreme  Court,  died  in  1829.  leav- 
ing a  large  family  of  children  without  adequate  support.  The 
subject  of  this  sketch  was  adopted  into  the  family  of  Thomas 
Ewine,  who  was  later  United  States  senator,  and  Secretarv  of 
the  Interior  in  the  cabinets  of  Harrison  and  Tyler.     The  boy

BEFORE  THE   MARCH  TO  THE  SEA 


These  two  photographs  of  General  Sherman  were  taken  in  1864 — the  year  that  made  him  an  inter- 
national figure,  before  his  march  to  the  sea  which  electrified  the  civilized  world,  and  exposed  once  for 
all  the  crippled  condition  of  the  Confederacy.  After  that  autumn  expedition,  the  problem  of  the 
Union  generals  was  merely  to  contendwith  detached  armies, no  longer  with  the  combined  States  of  the 
( Onfederacy.  The  latter  had  no  means  of  extending  further  support  to  the  dwindling  troops  in  the 
field.  Sherman  was  the  chief  Union  exponent  of  the  tactical  gift  that  makes  marches  count  as  much 
as  fighting.  In  the  early  part  of  1864  he  made  his  famous  raid  across  Mississippi  from  Jackson  to 
Meridian  and  back  again,  destroying  the  railroads,  Confederate  stores,  and  other  property,  and  des- 
olating the  country  along  the  line  of  march.  In  May  he  set  out  from  Chattanooga  for  the  invasion  of 
Georgia.  For  his  success  in  this  campaign  he  was  appointed,  on  August  12th,  a  major-general  in  the 
regular  army.  On  November  12th,  he  started  with  the  pick  of  his  men  on  his  march  to  the  sea. 
After  the  capture  of  Savannah,  December  21st,  Sherman's  fame  was  secure;  yet  he  was  one  of  the 
most  heartily  execrated  leaders  of  the  war.  There  is  a  hint  of  a  smile  in  the  right-hand  picture.  The 
left-hand  portrait  reveals  all  the  sternness  and  determination  of  a  leader  surrounded  by  dangers, 
about   to   penetrate    an    enemy's   country   against    the   advice  of  accepted    military  authorities. 


grew  up  with  the  Western  country  in  which  he  lived,  among 
energetic,  brainy  fanners,  lawyers,  and  politicians,  the  state- 
makers  of  the  West. 

When  sixteen  years  of  age,  Sherman  secured  an  appoint- 
ment to  West  Point,  where  he  tells  us  "  I  was  not  considered 
a  good  soldier."  Hut  he  was  at  least  a  good  student,  for  he 
graduated  as  number  six  in  a  class  of  forty-two,  the  survivors 
of  one  hundred  and  forty-one  who  had  entered  four  years  be- 
fore. 

After  graduation,  in  1840,  he  was  assigned  to  the  Third 
Artillery,  with  which  he  served  for  six  years  in  the  Southern 
States,  mainly  in  Florida  and  South  Carolina.  In  South  Car- 
olina, he  made  the  acquaintance  of  the  political  and  social  lead- 
ers of  the  South.  At  this  time,  in  fact  up  to  the  Civil  War, 
Sherman  was  probably  better  acquainted  with  Southern  life 
and  Southern  conditions  than  with  Northern.  He  spent  some 
of  his  leisure  time  in  the  study  of  his  profession  and  finally 
attacked  the  study  of  law. 

Most  of  the  next  ten  years  was  spent  in  California,  where 
he  was  sent,  in  1840,  at  the  outbreak  of  the  Mexican  War.  As 
aide  to  Generals  S.  W.  Kearny,  Mason,  and  Smith,  in  turn, 
Sherman  was  busy  for  four  years  in  assisting  to  untangle  the 
problems  of  the  American  occupation. 

In  1850,  he  returned  to  Ohio  and  was  married  to  Senator 
Ewing's  daughter,  Ellen  Boyle  Ewing,  a  woman  of  strong 
character  and  fine  intellect,  who  for  thirty-six  years  was  to 
him  a  genuine  helpmeet.  About  the  same  time,  he  was  made 
captain  in  the  Commissary  Department  and  served  for  a  short 
time  in  St.  Louis  and  New  Orleans,  resigning  early  in  1858 
that  he  might  return  to  California  to  take  charge  of  a  banking 
establishment,  a  branch  house  of  Lucas,  Turner  and  Company, 
of  St.  Louis. 

During  this  second  period  of  life  in  California,  we  see 
Sherman  as  a  business  man — a  banker.     He  was  cautious  and

i 


SHERMAN  IN  1865 
If  Sherman  was  deemed  merciless  in  war,  he  was  superbly  generous  when  the  fighting 
was  over.  To  Joseph  E.  Johnston  he  offered  most  liberal  terms  of  surrender  foi  the 
Southern  armies.  Their  acceptance  would  have  gone  far  to  prevent  the  worst  of  the 
reconstruction  enormities.  Unfortunately  his  first  convention  with  Johnston  was 
disapproved.  The  death  of  Lincoln  had  removed  the  guiding  band  that  would  have 
meant  so  much  to  the  nation.  To  those  who  have  read  his  published  correspondence 
and  his  memoirs  Sherman  appears  in  a  very  human  light.  He  was  fluent  and  fre- 
quently reckless  in  speech  and  writing,  but  his  kindly  humanity  is  seen  in  both. 


successful,  and  soon  his  bank  was  considered  one  of  the  best 
on  the  Pacific  coast.  This  was  due  mainly  to  the  prudent 
management  by  which  the  institution  was  enabled  to  weather 
the  storm  that  destroyed  nearly  all  the  Californian  banks  in 
1S.j<>— .57-  But  Sherman  had  always  reported  to  his  headquar- 
ters in  St.  Louis  that  the  bank  could  not  make  profits  under 
the  existing  conditions,  and  in  1857  his  advice  was  accepted  and 
the  business  closed. 

From  1853  to  18.57,  Sherman  appears  in  but  one  con- 
spicuous instance  in  another  role  than  that  of  banker.  In  1856, 
he  accepted  the  appointment  of  general  of  militia  in  order  to 
put  down  the  Vigilantes,  an  organization  formed  in  San  Fran- 
cisco to  crush  the  lawlessness  which  had  come  as  a  natural  re- 
sult of  the  weakness  and  corruption  of  the  local  government. 
He  sympathized  with  the  members  of  the  organization  in  their 
desire  to  put  down  disorder,  but  maintained  that  the  proper 
authorities  should  be  forced  to  remedy  matters,  and  that  illegal 
methods  of  repressing  crime  should  not  be  tolerated.  For  a 
time  it  seemed  that  he  woidd  succeed,  but  the  local  authorities 
were  much  disliked  and  distrusted  by  the  people,  and  the  prom- 
ised support  was  not  given  him  by  the  United  States  military 
authorities,  with  the  result  that  his  plans  failed. 

During  the  next  two  years,  Sherman  decided  that  as  a 
business  man  he  was  a  failure.  In  his  letters,  he  vigorously  as- 
serts it  as  a  fact;  and  in  truth  his  business  career  must  have 
been  extremely  unsatisfactory  to  him.  In  spite  of  good  man- 
agement, the  San  Francisco  venture  had  failed.  For  a  few 
months  afterward  he  Avas  in  charge  of  another  branch  of  the 
same  business  in  New  York,  and,  during  the  great  panic  of 
1857,  this  also  was  discontinued  on  account  of  the  failure  of 
the  main  house  in  St.  Louis.  Then  he  went  to  Kansas,  decided 
to  practise  law  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar,  "  on  general  in- 
telligence," he  said,  and  with  his  brother-in-law  formed  the  law 
firm  of  Ewing,  Sherman  and  McCook.

SHERMAN   IN    1876 


A    SOLDIER    TO    THE    END 


The  tall  figure  of  "Old  Tecumseh"  in  1876,  though  crowned  with  gray,  still  stood  erect  and  com- 
manding. I  pon  the  appointment  of  Grant  as  full  general,  in  July,  18<i(i.  Sherman  had  been  pro- 
moted to  the  lieutenant-generalship.  When  Grant  became  President  of  the  United  States,  March 
4.  1869,  Sherman  succeeded  him  as  general.  An  attempt  was  made  to  run  him  against  Grant  in 
187-2.  but  he  emphatically  refused  to  allow  his  name  to  be  used.  He  retired  from  the  army  on  full 
pay  in  February,  1884.  Although  he  was  practically  assured  of  the  Republican  nomination  for 
President  that  year,  he  telegraphed  that  he  would  not  accept  the  nomination  if  given,  and  would 
not  serve  if  elected.  He  spent  his  later  years  among  his  old  army  associates,  attending  reunions, 
making  speeches  at  soldiers'  celebrations,  and  putting  his  papers  in  order  for  future  historians.  He 
resolutely  refused  all  inducements  to  enter  the  political  arena,  and  to  the  end  he  remained  a  soldier.

W.  a.  $lirrmmt 


Sherman's  law  career,  as  he  described  it.  was  rather 
humorous.  He  lost  his  only  case,  a  dispute  over  the  possession 
of  a  shanty,  hut  joined  with  his  client  to  defeat  the  judgment 
by  removing  the  house  at  night.  Afterward,  he  undertook 
army  contracts  for  constructing  military  roads  and  opened 
a  large  tract  of  Kansas  wild  land  for  Senator  Ewing.  Dis- 
gusted with  business  life,  Sherman  decided  to  reenter  the  army, 
and  applied  for  a  paymastership.  But  his  friends  of  the  War 
Department  recommended  him  instead  for  the  superintendency 
of  the  Louisiana  State  Seminary  (now  the  Louisiana  State 
University),  then  being  organized.  He  was  elected  to  that 
position  in  August,  1859,  and  for  a  third  time  he  made  his  home 
in  the  South. 

He  was  an  efficient  college  executive:  the  seminary  was 
soon  organized  and  running  like  clockwork,  students  and  in- 
structors all  under  the  careful  direction  of  the  superintendent, 
who  very  soon  became  a  general  favorite,  not  only  with  "  his 
boys  "  but  with  the  faculty  of  young  Virginian  professors. 
He  had  no  regular  classes,  but  gave  episodical  instruction  in

the  "  speaking."  He  was  a  good  story-teller,  and  frequently 
his  room  would  be  crowded  with  students  and  young  professors, 
listening  to  his  descriptions  of  army  life  and  of  the  great  West. 

He  was  a  firm  believer  in  expansion  and  "  our  manifest  des- 
tiny," and  frequently  lectured  to  students  and  visitors  on  those 
events  in  American  history  which  resulted  in  the  rounding-out 
of  the  national  domain.  It  was  due,  perhaps,  to  his  long 
residence  in  the  far  West  that  he  regarded  slavery  as  in  no 
sense  the  cause  of  the  sectional  troubles  of  1860-61.  It  was 
all  the  result,  he  maintained,  of  the  machinations  of  unscrupu- 
lous politicians  scheming  for  power,  working  upon  a  restless 
people  who  were  suffering  from  an  overdose  of  Democracy.  It

and  t lie-  Southern  points  of  view,  did  not  fully  comprehend  the 
forces  which  for  years  had  been  driving  the  sections  apart. 

AYhen  Louisiana  seceded.  Sherman  announced  publicly 
what  was  already  generally  known — that  he  would  not  remain 
at  the  seminary,  that  he  would  take  no  part  against  the  United 
States.  It  is  said  that  he  wept  bitterly  when  he  heard  of  the 
withdrawal  of  South  Carolina.  One  of  the  strongest  argu- 
ments against  secession  was,  in  his  opinion,  the  geographic 
one.  Familiar  with  all  the  Southern  country,  especially  the 
Mississippi  valley,  he  insisted  that  Nature  itself  had  already 
decided  the  question  against  secession  and  that  the  South  ought 
to  struggle  within  the  Union  for  redress  of  grievances.  He 
believed  that  the  South,  though  itself  at  fault,  was  aggrieved. 
He  could  not  be  prevailed  upon  to  remain,  and  in  February. 
1861.  he  left  the  seminary  and  the  State. 

Sherman  at  once  went  to  Washington  where  he  found  the 
politicians  busy,  and  as  they  and  Lincoln  were  "  too  radical  " 
to  suit  him,  he  left,  profanely  declaring  that  "the  politicians 
have  got  the  country  into  this  trouble;  now  let  them  get  it  out." 
For  two  months  he  was  president  of  a  street-railway  company 
in  St.  Louis,  and  while  here  he  was  a  witness  of  the  division  of 
Missouri  into  hostile  camps.  He  watched  the  North  while  it 
gradually  made  up  its  mind  to  tight,  and  then  he  offered  his 
services  to  the  War  Department,  and  was  appointed  colonel  of 
the  Thirteenth  United  States  Infantry. 

Sherman's  military  career  falls  into  four  rather  distinct 
parts:  The  Manassas,  or  Bull  Run.  campaign,  and  Kentucky. 
in  1861;  the  Shiloh-Corinth  campaign,  in  1862;  the  opening 
of  the  Mississippi,  in  1863;  the  campaigns  in  Georgia  and 
the  Carolinas,  in  1804—6.5.  During  the  first  two  years,  he 
was  making  mistakes,  getting  experience,  and  learning  his  pro- 
fession. In  the  third  campaign,  his  military  reputation  was 
made  secure,  and  in  the  last  one  he  crushed  half  the  Confed- 
eracy mainly  by  his  destructive  marches. 

At  Bull  Run.  or  Manassas,  he  commanded  a  brigade  with

credit,  and  though  it  was  routed  he  quickly  restored 
ization  and  morale,  and  for  this  he  was  made  a  brigadier-gen- 
era] of  volunteers. 

Transferred  to  Kentucky  to  assist  General  Robert  An- 
derson, his  former  commander,  in  organizing  the  Federals  of 
Kentucky,  he  came  near  ruining  his  career  by  the  frankness 
of  his  speech  to  the  Secretary  of  War  and  to  the  newspaper 
men.  The  administration  evidently  desired  to  minimize  the 
gravity  of  the  situation  in  the  West,  but  Sherman  insisted  that 
to  hold  Kentucky  sixty  thousand  men  were  necessary,  and  to 
open  the  valley  to  the  Gulf  two  hundred  thousand  would  be 
needed.  He  was  better  acquainted  with  the  Southern  temper 
than  were  the  Northern  politicians  and  the  newspapers,  some 
of  which  now  declared  him  insane  for  making  such  a  statement. 
He  was  hounded  by  them  for  several  months  and  was  almost 
driven  from  the  service.  The  course  of  the  war  showed  that 
he  was  correct. 

During  the  next  year  was  begun  the  movement  to  open 
the  Mississippi  valley.  From  the  beginning  of  the  war  this 
had  been  one  of  Sherman's  favorite  projects.  It  was  a  West- 
ern feeling  that  the  river  must  be  opened,  that  the  valley  must 
belong  to  one  people.  Sherman  saw  service  in  responsible  com- 
mands in  the  Shiloh-Corinth  campaign.  At  Shiloh.  he.  like 
the  other  Federal  and  Confederate  commanders,  was  hardly 
at  his  best;  all  of  them  still  had  much  to  learn.  But  in  the 
rather  uneventful  Corinth  military  promenade,  Sherman  be- 
gan to  show  his  wonderful  capacity  for  making  marches  count 
as  much  as  fighting.  He  was  now  regarded  as  one  of  the  best 
minor  leaders,  was  no  longer  considered  insane,  and  was  made 
a  major-general  of  volunteers  as  a  reward  for  his  services  in 
the  campaign. 

In  the  Vicksburg  campaign  of  1863,  which  completed  the 
opening  of  the  Mississippi  and  cut  in  two  the  Confederacy, 
Sherman  bore  a  conspicuous  part,  first  under  McClernand  and

later  under  Grant.  It  was  the  successful  termination  of  the 
Vicksburg  campaign  which  made  secure  the  military  reputa- 
tions of  both  Grant  and  Sherman.  Their  good  fame  was 
enhanced  by  the  subsidiary  campaigns  into  the  interior  of 
Mississippi,  and  by  the  battle  on  Missionary  Ridge,  in  Ten- 
nessee. Henceforth,  "  political  "  generals  Avere  less  in  evidence 
and  the  professional  soldiers  came  to  the  front.  Grant  was 
called  to  exercise  the  chief  command  over  all  the  armies  of  the 
Union.  To  Sherman,  who  was  now  made  a  brigadier-general 
of  regulars,  was  given  the  supervision  of  the  entire  Southwest, 
embracing  practically  all  of  the  military  frontier  not  under 
Grant's  immediate  control.  He  was  to  direct  the  chief  army 
which  was  to  strike  at  the  vitals  of  the  lower  South,  and  to 
exercise  general  supervision  over  the  military  operations  in 
Tennessee.  Mississippi.  Alabama,  and  Arkansas,  which  were 
designed  to  make  secure  the  hold  of  the  Federals  upon  the 
lower  Mississippi  valley. 

The  river  was  held,  and  the  army  of  one  hundred  thousand 
men,  under  the  immediate  command  of  Sherman,  carried  to  suc- 
cessful conclusion,  in  18<>4  (i.5,  three  campaigns — that  against 
Atlanta,  the  "  store-house  of  the  Confederacy,"  for  which  he 
was  made  major-general  in  the  regular  army,  the  march 
through  Georgia  to  the  sea,  cutting  the  Confederacy  in  two 
a  second  time,  and  the  campaign  through  the  Carolinas,  which 
was  designed  to  crush  the  two  principal  armies  of  the  South 
between  Sherman's  and  Grant's  forces. 

For  three  months  of  the  Atlanta  campaign — May,  June, 
and  July — Sherman  was  pitted  against  Joseph  E.  Johnston, 
one  of  the  Confederacy's  greatest  generals,  the  one  best  qual- 
ified to  check  Sherman's  march.  But  Johnston,  with  his  smaller 
force,  fell  back  slowly  from  one  strong  position  to  another, 
holding  each  until  flanked  by  Sherman,  who  could  make  prog- 
ress in  no  other  way.  When  Atlanta  was  reached,  Johnston 
was  superseded  by  John  \\.  Hood,  who  at  once  initiated  an

offensive  policy  hut  was  severely  defeated  in  several  battles  dur- 
ing the  latter  days  of  July  and  in  August.     For  his  success  in 

this  campaign.  Sherman  was  made  a  major-general  in  the  reg- 
ular army.  Finally  Hood  evacuated  Atlanta,  started  on  the 
fatal  Tennessee  campaign,  and  left  the  Federal  commander 
free  to  move  on  through  the  almost  undefended  country  to 
the  Atlantic  seaboard. 

Sherman  had  provided  for  the  defense  of  Tennessee  and 
had  garrisoned  the  important  exposed  posts  which  he  considered 
it  necessary  to  retain.  On  November  12,  18(>4.  communications 
with  the  North  were  severed.  He  started  with  sixty-two  thou- 
sand men  on  the  "  promenade  "  through  Georgia,  and  for  a 
month  was  not  heard  from  except  through  Confederate 
sources.  In  December,  Savannah  was  captured  and  was  made 
a  Federal  base  of  supplies.  Then  l>egan  the  march  to  the 
North  through  the  Carolinas,  which  was  much  more  difficult 
than  the  march  to  the  sea,  and  Sherman  was  again  confronted 
with  his  old  antagonist.  Joseph  L.  Johnston,  who  had  been 
placed  in  command  of  the  remnants  of  the  Confederate  forces. 
But  the  contest  was  more  unequal  than  it  had  been  in  18(34, 
and  when  Lee  surrendered  in  Virginia.  Johnston  in  North 
Carolina  gave  up  the  struggle,  and  the  war  was  practically 
at  an  end. 

Here  it  is  proper  to  add  an  estimate  of  the  military  quali- 
ties of  the  great  Federal  commander.  Like  the  other  success- 
ful commanders,  he  attained  the  fullness  of  his  powers  slowly. 
Not  all  military  experts  agree  that  he  was  a  great  commander 
on  the  battlefield,  and  in  his  successful  campaigns  he  was  gen- 
erally pitted  against  weaker  Confederate  forces,  acting  (Hood 
excepted)  uniformly  on  the  defensive.  Sherman's  armies  had 
no  such  experiences  as  did  those  which  opposed  Robert  E.  Lee. 
He  was  aided  by  such  blunders  of  his  opponents  as  were  never 
made  by  Lee.     But

economic  conditions  existing  in  the  Southwest 


Sherman  was 
preeminently  fitted  to  undertake  the  task  of  breaking  to  pieces 
the  weakening  South.  lie  was  a  great  strategist  if  not  so 
successful  as  a  tactician ;  he  won  more  by  marches  than  others 
by  righting;  he  had  a  genius  for  large  conceptions,  and  with  his 
clear  comprehension  of  Southern  conditions  he  was  able  to 
strike  with  irresistible  force  at  the  weak  points  in  the  defense. 
Thus  it  was,  according  to  Robert  E.  Lee,  that  he  was  enabled 
to  give  the  Confederacy  a  mortal  wound  before  any  of  its 
armies  surrendered. 

One  feature  of  Sherman's  campaigns,  after  leaving  At- 
lanta, has  been  severely  criticised.  Much  of  the  destruction  of 
private  property  in  Georgia  and  South  Carolina,  it  is  held,  was 
not  only  unnecessary  but  amounted  to  cruelty  in  depriving 
the  population  of  the  necessities  of  life.  Woodrow  Wilson 
says  of  the  work  of  the  armies  under  Sherman's  command: 
'  They  had  devoted  themselves  to  destruction  and  the  stripping 
of  the  land  they  crossed  with  a  thoroughness  and  a  care  for  de- 
tails hardly  to  be  matched  in  the  annals  of  modern  warfare- 
each  soldier  played  the  marauder  very  heartily."  Sherman 
himself  intimated  that  the  march  would  "  make  Georgia  howl." 
and  would  "  make  its  inhabitants  feel  that  war  and  ruin  are 
synonymous  terms."  The  most  intense  feeling  on  the  subject 
still  exists  in  the  communities  over  which  Sherman  marched  in 
1864  65,  a  feeling  which  does  not  exist  against  any  other  com- 
mander on  either  side,  nor  against  Sherman  himself  in  the 
regions  over  which  he  fought  before  1864. 

That  Sherman  himself  did  not  intend  to  go  beyond  the 
limits  of  legitimate  warfare  is  clear,  and  the  unfortunate  ex- 
cesses were  due  mainly  to  the  somewhat  demoralized  discipline 
of  the  troops,  to  the  fact  that  they  were  in  the  midst  of  a  hostile 
country,  to  the  increasing  bitterness  that  had  developed  as 
the  war  progressed,  to  the  natural  development  of  the  permit- 
ted "  foraging  "  into  reckless  plundering,  and  in  part  to  certain 
characteristics  of  Sherman  himself,  which  probably  affected  the

ARMY  AND  CORPS  LEADERS  WHO  ENDED  THE  WAR  IN  THE  NORTHWEST  AND  SOUTHWEST 


As  Sherman  cut  the  southeastern  Con- 
federacy in  two  by  his  march  to  the  sea, 
so  Sheridan  (center  of  group  above)  and 
Canby  (shown  below)  wiped  off  the  map 
the  theaters  of  war  in  the  northwest  and 
sunt  li west  respectively.  With  Merritt 
and  Torbert,  and  the  dasliing  Custer, 
Sheridan  swept  the  Shenandoah  Valley. 
Canby,  as  commander  of  the  military 
division  of  West  Mississippi,  directed  the 
Mobile  campaign  of  March-April,  1865, 
which  resulted  in  the  occupation  by  the 
I ■  i  ■!  lerals  of  Mobile  and  Montgomery.  A 
raid  by  James  H.  Wilson  (second  from 
right  i  had  prepared  the  way  for  this  re- 
sult. In  May,  1865,  Canby  received  the 
surrender  of  the  Confederate  forces  under 
<  tenerals  R.  Taylor  and  E.  Kirby  Smith, 
the  largest  Confederate  forces  which  sur- 


rendered at  the  end  of  the  war.  The  cav- 
alry leaders  in  the  upper  picture  are,  from 
left  to  right:  Generals  Wesley  Merritt, 
David  Mi'M.  Gregg,  Philip  Henry  Sher- 
idan, Henry  E.  Davies,  James  Harrison 
Wilson,  and  Alfred  T,  A.  Torbert.  Wil- 
son was  given  the  cavalry  corps  of  the 
military  district,  of  the  Mississippi  in 
lMi.">,  and  Torbert  commanded  the  cav- 
alry corps  of  the  Army  of  the  Shenandoah 
under  Sheridan.  These  six  great  leaders 
are  among  the  men  who  handled  the 
Federal  cavalry  in  its  last  days,  welding 
it  into  the  splendid,  efficient,  aggressive, 
fighting  force  that  finally  overwhelmed 
the  depleted  ranks  of  their  Confederate 
opponents,  Forrest  and  Wheeler  in  the 
W'esi  and  Rosser,  Lomax,  Stuart,  the

policy  of  his  corps  conunanders,  who  were  more  directly  charged 
with  the  conduct  of  the  troops.  But  if  Sherman  was  merciless 
in  war,  he  was  superbly  generous  when  the  righting  was  over. 

When  Grant  was  made  President,  Sherman  succeeded  him 
as  general  of  the  army,  and  knowing  Grant's  views  to  coincide 
with  his  own,  he  hoped  so  to  reorganize  the  army  that  the  com- 
manding general,  not  the  Secretary  of  War,  would  be  the  real 
head  of  the  army.  With  Grant's  assistance  the  reforms  were 
undertaken,  but  they  lasted  less  than  a  month,  the  political  pres- 
sure upon  the  President  in  favor  of  the  old  system  being  too 
strong  for  him  to  bear.  Sherman  and  Grant  then  drifted 
apart ;  the  former  could  do  little  toward  carrying  out  his  plans 
for  the  betterment  of  the  army,  and  finally,  to  escape  unpleas- 
ant treatment,  he  removed  his  headquarters  to  St.  Louis  where 
he  remained  until  President  Hayes  invited  him  to  return  to 
Washington  and  inaugurate  his  cherished  plans  of  army  ad- 
ministration. This  pleasing  professional  situation  continued 
until  Sherman's  retirement,  in  1884. 

During  his  later  years,  he  spent  most  of  his  time  in  New 
York  among  old  army  associates,  attending  reunions,  making 
speeches  at  soldier's  celebrations,  and  putting  his  papers  in 
order  for  the  use  of  future  historians.  He  died  in  New  York 
on  February  14,  1891,  aged  seventy-one  years.  He  was  buried, 
as  he  wished,  in  St.  Louis,  by  the  side  of  his  wife  and  his  little 
son,  who  had  died  nearly  thirty  years  before.  Inconspicuous 
among  the  many  generals  who  went  to  New  York  to  do  honor 
to  the  dead  leader  was  a  quiet  old  gentleman  in  civilian  dress— 
Sherman's  ablest  antagonist  in  war,  Joseph  E.  Johnston,  and 
by  the  side  of  the  grave  at  St.  Louis  was  one  of  his  old  Louisi- 
ana colleagues,  proud  of  his  unique  experience,  "  a  professor 
under  Sherman  and  a  soldier  under  '  Stonewall '  Jackson."

STONEWALL  JACKSON— A   MEMORY 

By  Allen  C.  Redwood 

Frfty-Jifth  Virginia  Regiment,  Confederate  States  Army 

WHEN  the  early  details  of  the  first  important  collision 
between  the  contending  forces  in  Virginia,  in  1861,  be- 
gan to  come  in,  some  prominence  was  given  to  the  item  relating 
how  a  certain  brigade  of  Virginia  troops,  recruited  mostly  from 
the  Shenandoah  valley  and  the  region  adjacent  to  the  Bine 
Ridge,  had  contributed,  largely  by  their  steadiness  under  fire, 
almost  for  the  first  time,  to  the  sustaining  of  the  hard-pressed 
and  wavering  Confederate  left  flank,  and  the  subsequent  con- 
version of  what  had  threatened  to  be  a  disastrous  defeat  to  the 
Southern  arms  into  a  disorderly  and  utter  rout  of  the  opposing 
army. 

War  was  a  very  new  experience  to  most  of  that  genera- 
tion, and  the  capacity  for  absorbing  sensational  bulletins  was 
commensurate  with  the  popular  expectation,  if  it  did  not  ex- 
ceed it.  Those  of  us  who  were  as  yet  doing  the  commonplace 
duty  of  detached  garrisons,  were  consumed  with  envy  of  our 
more  fortunate  comrades  who  had  taken  part  in  what  then 
seemed  the  great  battle  of  the  war  and  which  our  inexperience 
even  conjectured  might  determine  the  pending  issues.  A  man 
who  had  "  been  at  Manassas  "  might  quite  safely  draw  upon 
his  imagination  to  almost  any  extent  in  relating  its  happen- 
ings, with  no  fear  that  the  drafts  would  not  be  duly  honored  by 
our  credulity.  As  to  the  civilian  element,  its  appetite  was 
hounded  only  by  the  supply;  like  poor  little  Oliver  Twist,  it  con- 
tinually presented  its  porringer,  eagerly  demanding  "more!" 

Of  this  mass  of  fiction — of  unthreshed  grain — there  re- 
mains yet  one  kernel  of  veracious  history,  and  the  incident  was 
predestined  to  exercise  significant  and  far-reaching  influence

THOMAS  JONATHAN  JACKSON 

AS   FIRST    LIEUTENANT,    U.  S.  A. 

Jackson's  very  soul  impressed  itself  on  the  glass  of  this  early  negative  through  his  striking  features — more 
clearly  read  than  later,  when  a  heavy  beard  had  covered  the  resolute  lips,  and  the  habit  of  command  had 
veiled  the  deep-seeing,  somber  eyes.  When  the  quiet  Virginia  boy  with  the  strong  religious  bent  graduated 
eighteenth  in  his  class  of  seventy  from  West  Point  in  1846,  his  comrades  little  thought  that  he  was  destined 
to  become  the  most  suddenly  famous  of  American  generals.  The  year  after  his  graduation  he  attracted 
attention  by  his  performances  as  lieutenant  of  artillery  under  General  Scott  in  Mexico,  and  was  brevetted 
captain  and  major  for  bravery  at  Contreras,  Churubusco,  and  Chapultepec.  Fourteen  years  later  he  earned 
his  sobriquet  of  "Stonewall"  in  the  first  great  battle  of  the  Civil  War.  Within  two  years  more  he  had  risen 
to  international  fame — and  received  his  mortal  wound  on  the  field  of  battle.  He  was  reserved,  almost  som- 
ber with  his  men,  yet  he  earned  the  love  and  enthusiastic  devotion  of  the  soldiers  who  came  to  be  known  as 
"Jackson's  foot  cavalry,"  so  unparalleled  were  the  marches  they  made  under  his  leadership.  They  came  to 
trust  his  judgment  as  infallible,  and  in  spite  of  overwhelming  odds  they  followed  no  matter  where  he  led.

^yysp^N  upon  the  struggle,  then  in  its  very  inception.    In  that  fiery  bap- 
~ r^   tism,  a  man  still  unknown  to  fame  was  to  receive,  at  the  hands 


of  a  gallant  soldier  about  to  surrender  his  soul  to  the  Maker 
who  gave  it.  the  name  which,  to  the  world,  was  to  supplant  that 
conferred  by  his  natural  sponsors,  and  by  which  he  will  ever  be 
known  as  among  the  great  captains  of  his  race  and  of  history. 
The  supreme  effort  of  the  Federal  commander  was  directed 
against  the  left  of  the  army  of  Johnston  and  Beauregard  and 
upon  the  open  plateau  surrounding  the  Henry  house.  The 
battle  was  raging  furiously,  and  seemingly  the  Southern  line 
at  that  point  was  on  the  verge  of  utter  disaster,  when  the  Caro- 
linian, General  Barnard  E.  Bee.  rode  from  his  shattered  and 
wavering  brigade  over  to  where  Jackson  still  held  fast  with  his 
mountain  men. 

"  General,"  he  said  in  tones  of  anguish.  "  they  are  beating 
us  back." 

"No,  sir,"  was  the  grim  reply:  "we  will  give  them  the 
bayonet."  Bee  rode  back  and  spoke  to  his  brigade:  "  Look  at 
Jackson  there,  standing  like  a  stone  wall.  Rally  behind  the 
Virginians!  "  and  the  front  of  battle  was  restored.  The  rest  is 
history. 

Thus  it  came  to  pass  that  popular  inquiry  began  as  to  who 
this  man  Jackson  might  be,  and  what  were  his  credentials  and 
antecedents.  The  young  cadets  from  the  Virginia  Military 
Institute,  who  promptly  flocked  to  the  colors  of  the  State  and 
of  the  Confederacy,  could  give  but  little  satisfactory  informa- 
tion: to  their  boyish  minds  he  was  just  "  Old  Jack."  instructor 
in  natural  philosophy  and  artillery  tactics,  something  of  a  mar- 
tinet and  stickler  for  observance  of  regulation,  and.  on  the 
whole,  rather  "  queer  "  and  not  at  all  approachable.  That  he 
should  be  in  command  of  a  brigade  seemed  to  them  due  far 
more  to  some  peculiar  fortune  than  to  any  inherent  fitness  re- 
siding in  him.     True,  he  was  said  to  have  graduated  from  the 


JACKSON— HIS   MOST  REVEALING   PHOTOGRAPH 

A    PICTURE    SECURED    ONLY    BY    THE     URGING 
OF    GENERAL    BRADLEY    T.     JOHNSON 


Jackson,  a  modest  hero,  nearly  always  shrank  from  being  photographed.  At 
the  height  of  his  fame  he  answered  a  publisher's  letter  with  a  refusal  to  write 
the  desired  magazine  article  or  to  send  any  picture  of  himself,  though  the  offer 
was  a  very  flattering  one.  The  photograph  above  was  made  in  Winchester, 
in  February,  1862,  at  the  Rontzohn  gallery,  where  Jackson  had  been  persuaded 
to  spend  a  few  minutes  by  the  earnest  entreaties  of  General  Bradley  T.  John- 
son. Some  five  months  later  Jackson  was  to  send  Banks  whirling  down  the 
Shenandoah  Valley,  to  the  friendly  shelter  of  the  Potomac  and  Harper's 
Ferry,  keep  three  armies  busy  in  pursuit  of  him,  and  finally  turn  upon  them 
and  defeat  two  of  them.  This,  with  the  profile  portrait  taken  near  Fred- 
ericksburg, shown  on  page  115  of  Volume  II,  represents  the  only  two  sittings 
of  Jackson  during  the  war.  Captain  Frank  P.  Clark,  who  served  three 
years  in  close  association  with  the  general,  considered  this  the  best  likeness.

United  States  Military  Academy,  and  was  known  to  have  been 
a  some-time  officer  of  the  army,  serving  in  Magruder's  battery 
in  Mexico  during  the  campaign  of  Scott  from  Vera  Cruz  to 
the  capital  city. 

It  was  even  intimated  that  he  had  won  certain  brevets 
there  for  service  at  Vera  Cruz,  Contreras,  and  Chapultepec, 
rising  from  the  grade  of  second  lieutenant  to  that  of  major 
within  a  period  of  eighteen  months,  but  to  the  youthful  sense 
all  that  was  very  ancient  history,  of  a  piece  with  the  Pelopon- 
nesian  War,  for  instance,  and  the  mists  of  antiquity  hung  about 
the  record  and  made  its  outlines  very  vague.  To  the  young, 
ten  years  seems  a  great  while,  and  during  that  period  their 
reticent,  rigid  instructor  had  been  quite  out  of  touch  with  any- 
thing military  other  than  their  cadet  battalion  or  the  gun  de- 
tails of  the  institute  battery  of  6-pounders,  with  human  teams, 
which  it  was  his  duty  to  put  through  their  evolutions  on  the 


drill-ground. 


The  human  side  of  this  man  has  almost  no  record  during 
these  years,  apart  from  what  comes  to  us  through  the  letters  to 
his  wife;  he  was  not  a  man  who  wore  his  heart  on  his  sleeve,  and 
life  seems  to  have  always  been  to  him  as  a  trust,  for  which  he 
held  himself  strictly  accountable,  and  which  was  not  to  be 
squandered  in  trivialities  of  any  sort.  As  we  know  now,  he 
had  much  to  do,  and  the  time  for  it  was  to  be  all  too  brief  for 
its  full  accomplishment:  yet  he  seems  to  have  been  not  quite 
devoid  of  some  sense  of  humor,  in  spite  of  his  habitual  reserve 
and  aloofness. 

It  is  related  that  upon  one  occasion,  at  this  stage  of  his 
career,  he  propounded  to  his  class  this  question,  "  Young  gen- 
tlemen, can  any  of  you  explain  to  me  the  reason  why  it  has 
never  been  possible  to  send  a  telegraphic  despatch  from  Lex- 
ington to  Staunton?  "  Several  theories  were  advanced,  such  as 
that  the  presence  of  iron  ore  in  the  surrounding  mountains 
might  have  had  the  effect  of  deflecting  the  electric  current. 
At  last,  one  boy — the  dullard  of  the  class,  usually — suggested,

"STONEWALL"   AND   THE    MEN   WHO  BORE   HIS  ORDERS 


Their  honors  came  not  easily  to  Jackson's  staff  officers.  Tireless  himself,  regardless  of  all  personal  comforts,  lie  seemed  to  consider 
others  endowed  with  like  qualities.  After  a  day  of  marching  and  fighting  it  was  no  unusual  thing  for  him  to  send  a  staff  member  on  :i 
thirty  or  forty  mile  ride.  He  was  on  terms  of  easy  friendship  and  confidence  with  his  aides  off  duty,  but  his  orders  were  explicit  and 
irrevocable.  He  had  no  confidants  as  to  his  military  designs — quite  the  opposite:  Before  starting  on  his  march  to  Harper's  Ferry  he 
called  for  a  map  of  the  Pennsylvania  frontier,  and  made  many  inquiries  as  to  roads  and  localities  to  the  north  of  Frederick,  whereas  his 
route  lay  in  the  opposite  direction.      His  staff,  like  his  soldiers,  first  feared  his  apparent  rashness,  and  then  adored  him  for  his  success.

diffidently,  that  it  might  lie  owing  to  the  fact  that  there  was  no 
telegraph  line  then  existing  between  the  two  points.  '  Yes, 
sir,"  replied  Major  Jackson:  "  that  is  the  reason." 

But.  in  the  main,  he  was  eminently  practical  and  almost 
totally  lacking  in  the  minor  graces  and  frivolities  which  render 
men  socially  possible,  and.  had  not  the  great  occasion  arisen 
which  was  to  afford  scope  for  his  ability,  it  seems  as  if  he  must 
have  entirely  escaped  notice  for  the  rest  of  his  life.  We  are 
prone  to  look  at  things  in  that  light,  ignoring  the  fact  that  it  is 
the  man  who  has  kept  up  his  training  who  is  ready  and  fit  to 
seize  opportunity  when  it  shall  present  itself.  Jackson  had 
been  "  in  training  "  all  the  while,  even  though  no  one — not  even 
himself — may  have  suspected  to  what  purpose. 

This  is  the  man  who,  more  than  any  other,  saved  the  day 
for  the  Confederacy  at  Manassas  (First  Bull  Bun),  in  1801. 
Then  he  disappeared  from  view — a  May  he  had,  as  his  antag- 
onists were  to  learn  later — for  a  while,  and  at  one  time  it  seemed 
as  if  the  theater  of  active  operations  was  to  know  his  presence 
no  more,  when,  in  response  to  an  order  from  the  War  Depart- 
ment in  Richmond,  along  with  his  acquiescence,  he  tendered  his 
resignation  from  the  command  he  then  held. 

Fortunately,  this  document  went  through  the  headquar- 
ters of  his  superior,  General  Joseph  E.  Johnston,  who  before 
forwarding  it  wrote  to  Jackson  asking  reconsideration,  and  so 
the  services  of  the  latter  were  retained  to  the  Confederacy,  and 
we  were  to  hear  much  of  his  doings  from  that  time  until  his 
untimely  and  tragic  death.  But  in  the  months  immediately 
succeeding  Bull  Run,  he  was  almost  lost  sight  of,  and  it  was 
only  at  the  opening  of  the  campaign  of  1802  that  he  began  to 
loom  again  upon  the  military  horizon. 

The  fortunes  of  the  young  Confederacy  seemed  then  at 
a  low  ebb;  from  all  the  western  portion  came  bulletins  of  dis- 
aster. In  Virginia,  a  vast  Federal  host  had  been  marshaled 
and   was   about   to   begin    closing   in  upon   the   capital,    and

all  the  outlying  posts  of  the  Confederate  line  were  being 
severally  driven  in.  Johnston  had  retired  from  Manassas  to 
the  line  of  the  Rappahannock,  presently  to  proceed  to  York- 
town,  and  eventually  to  retire  thence  to  the  Chickahominy.  It 
was  while  lying  there,  awaiting  McClellan's  attack,  that  we 
began  to  get  news  of  very  active  proceedings  in  the  Valley 
region,  which  came  to  have  important  bearing  upon  our  for- 
tunes, and  in  the  final  issue  to  determine  the  contest  we  were 
expecting  and  awaiting  in  our  immediate  front. 

To  those  sultry,  squalid  camps,  reeking  with  malaria  and 
swarming  with  flies,  came  from  beyond  the  far-away  Blue 
Ridge  stirring  and  encouraging  tidings  of  rapid  march  and 
sudden  swoop;  of  telling  blows  where  least  expected;  of  skilful 
maneuvering  of  a  small  force,  resulting  in  the  frustrating  of  all 
combinations  of  one  numerically  its  superior,  and  paralyzing 
for  the  time  being  all  the  plans  of  the  Federal  War  Depart- 
ment and  the  grand  strategy  of  the  "  young  Xapoleon  "  at  the 
head  of  its  armies  in  the  field. 

It  seemed  as  if  the  sobriquet  conferred  upon  Manassas  field 
had  become  the  veriest  of  misnomers;  the  "  Stonewall  "  had 
acquired  a  marvelous  mobility  since  that  July  day  not  yet  a 
year  old  and  had  become  a  catapult  instead.  And  what,  per- 
haps, appealed  to  our  personal  interest  more  forcibly  was  the 
story  of  the  capture  of  the  rich  spoil  of  war,  the  supplies,  of 
which  we  were  already  beginning  to  feel  the  need.  Our  daily 
diet  of  unrelieved  bread  and  bacon  grew  fairly  nauseating  at 
the  thought  of  the  bounty  so  generously  provided  by  "  Commis- 
sary-General "  Ranks,  and  of  the  extra  dainties  inviting  pillage 
in  the  tents  of  Israel — but  we  were  to  get  our  share,  with  ac- 
crued interest,  later  on. 

We  had  not  yet  ceased  to  marvel  over  these  exploits  when 
Jackson  executed  one  of  his  mysterious  disappearances,  puz- 
zling alike  to  friend  and  foe.  and  he  next  announced  himself  by 

the  salvo  of  his  guns,  driving  in  McClellan's  exposed  right.

This  exposed  condition  was  due  to  his  own  activity  in  the  Val- 
ley, which  had  held  McDowell  inert  upon  the  Rappahannock 
with  thirty-five  thousand  muskets  which  should  have  been  with 
the  force  north  of  the  Chickahominy,  inviting  attack.  Jackson 
rarely  declined  such  invitations;  he  could  scent  an  exposed  flank 
with  the  nose  of  a  hound  and  was  '*  fast  dog  "  following  the 
trail  when  struck.  Besides  his  habitual  celerity  of  movement, 
was  his  promptness  in  delivering  attack,  which  was  an  element 
of  his  success. 

'  The  first  musket  upon  the  ground  was  fired."  says  a  dis- 
tinguished English  authority.  "  without  giving  the  opposing 
force  time  to  realize  that  the  fight  was  on  and  to  make  its  dis- 
positions to  meet  the  attack  or  even  to  ascertain  in  what  force 
it  was  being  made."  The  quiet,  retiring  pedagogue  of  the  "  Y. 
M.  I."  had  not  been  wasting  those  ten  years  in  which  most  of 
his  leisure  had  been  devoted  to  the  study  of  the  campaigns  of 
the  great  strategists  of  history,  from  Ca?sar  to  Napoleon,  and 
his  discipline  in  Mexico  had  given  him  some  useful  suggestions 
for  their  application  to  modern  conditions.  Also  it  had  af- 
forded the  opportunity  for  giving  that  invaluable  asset,  the 
ability  to  gage  the  caliber  of  the  men  cooperating  with  him  or 
opposed  to  him,  with  most  of  whom  he  had  come  in  contact  per- 
sonally— a  peculiarity  of  our  Civil  "War.  and  one  of  important 
bearing  upon  all  the  operations  conducted  by  officers  of  the 
regular  establishment  who,  almost  without  exception,  held  high 
command  in  both  armies. 

But  as  yet  we  had  no  personal  knowledge  of  this  man  who 
had  been  so  rapidly  coming  to  the  fore.  His  work  done,  and 
well  done,  amid  the  Chickahominy  lowlands,  he  was  soon  to 
heed  the  call  coming  to  him  from  the  hill  country  which  gave 
him  birth,  and  where  his  most  notable  service  had  so  far  been 
rendered.  His  old  antagonists  were  reassembling  there  as  a 
formidable  army  and  under  a  new  leader,  and  the  line  of  direct

approach  to  the  Confederate  capital  was  to  be  attempted  from 
that  direction.  Already  he  had  proceeded  thither  with  his  two 
divisions  which  had  made  the  Valley  campaign — his  own  and 
Ewell's — when  ours,  commanded  by  A.  P.  Hill,  received  orders 
to  join  them,  and  all  three  were  thenceforth  incorporated  in  the 
Second  Corps  of  the  Army  of  Northern  Virginia,  as  long  as 
he  commanded  it. 

We  had  fought  the  sharp  engagement  of  Cedar  Mountain 
on  the  9th  of  August,  1862,  and  checked  Pope's  advance  to 
the  Rapidan.  Then,  after  some  days  of  rest,  we  again  took  the 
initiative  and,  crossing  the  little  river,  went  after  him.  But 
the  general  who  had  heretofore  "  seen  only  the  backs  of  his 
enemies  "  did  not  see  fit  to  await  our  coming,  hut  made  so 
prompt  and  rapid  a  retrograde  movement  that  even  our  ex- 
peditious "  foot  cavalry  "  could  not  come  up  with  him  before 
he  passed  the  Rappahannock.  It  was  on  this  hurried  pursuit, 
passing  through  Brandy  Station,  that  a  figure  came  riding 
along  the  toiling  foot  column  toward  the  front.  He  was  in  no 
wise  remarkable  in  appearance,  and  it  was  with  surprise  that 
the  writer  heard  that  he  was  no  other  than  our  commander, 
General  "  Stonewall  "  Jackson. 

He  wore  a  rather  faded  gray  coat  and  cap  to  match — the 
latter  of  the  "  cadet  "  pattern  then  in  vogue  and  tilted  so  far 
over  bis  eyes  that  they  were  not  visible,  and  bis  mount  and  gen- 
eral appearance  were  not  distinctive  of  high  rank.  In  fact,  be 
seemed  some  courier  carrying  a  message  to  some  general  officer 
on  ahead.  Despite  his  West  Point  training,  he  was  never  a 
showy  horseman — in  which  respect  he  had  a  precedent  in  the 
great  Napoleon.  When  we  took  Harper's  Ferry,  in  September 
of  that  same  year,  one  of  the  surrendered  garrison  remarked, 
when  Jackson  was  pointed  out  to  him,  "  Well,  he's  not  much 
to  look  at,  but  if  we'd  only  had  him,  we'd  never  have  been  in 
this  fix." 

But  within  the  interval  we  were  to  see  much  of  him,  and 

our  appreciation  speedily  penetrated  below  the  surface  indica-

tions  as  we  came  to  know  and  trust  the  man  who  conducted  us 
to  unfailing  victory.  Soldiers  always  forgive  the  means  so  that 
the  end  may  he  assured,  and  no  man  ever  worked  his  troops

never  liked  an  ovation  and  always  spurred  out  of  the  demon- 
stration at  top  speed.  Rigid  disciplinarian  that  he  was  in  all 
essentials,  there  was  not  the  suspicion  of  concern  with  pomp 
and  circumstance  in  all  his  make-up.  War  was  to  him  much 
too  serious  an  affair  to  be  complicated  by  anything  of  the  sort, 
nor  was  he  at  all  tolerant  of  excuses  when  there  was  work  in 
hand — results  alone  counted. 

At  Chantilly,  our  division  commander  sent  word  to  him 
that  he  was  not  sure  that  he  could  hold  his  position  as  his  am- 
munition was  wet.  "  My  compliments  to  General  Hill  and  say 
that  the  enemy's  ammunition  is  as  wet  as  his,  and  to  hold  his 
ground,"  was  Jackson's  reply.  Yet,  unsparing  as  he  was  of 
his  men  when  the  urgency  of  the  occasion  demanded  it,  he  was 
equally  unsparing  of  himself,  and,  moreover,  was  always  con- 
cerned for  their  well-being  once  the  emergency  was  past,  realiz- 
ing that  all  warlike  preparation  is  to  the  end  of  lavish  expendi- 
ture at  the  supreme  moment.  In  camp  he  was  always  solicitous 
that  the  troops  should  be  well  cared  for,  but  when  it  came  to 
take  the  field, 

"  What  matter  if  our  shoes  arc  worn, 
What  matter  if  our  feet  are  torn, 
Quick  step — we're  with  him  ere  the  dawn." 

That  was  "  Stonewall  Jackson's  Way."  A  purposeful 
man,  obstacles  were  to  him  but  things  to  be  overcome  or  ig- 
nored if  they  stood  in  the  way  of  his  plans.    When  one  of  his    c

subordinates,  after  the  three  days'  hard  fighting  of  the  Second 
Manassas,  preceded  by  a  march  of  almost  a  hundred  miles 
within  a  little  more  than  a  like  period  of  time,  objected  that  his 
men  could  not  march  further  until  they  should  have  received 
rations,  he  was  promptly  put  under  arrest  by  Jackson,  bent  as 
he  was  upon  following  up  his  advantage  and  overwhelming 
Pope's  defeated  army  before  it  could  reach  the  protection  of 
its  entrenched  lines  at  Alexandria,  some  thirty  miles  distant. 

A  master  of  men,  Jackson  infused  those  of  his  command 
with  much  of  his  own  indomitable  spirit,  as  expressed  in  the 
lines  quoted  from  the  old  song  of  the  corps,  until  they  came 
to  take  pride  in  their  hardships  and  privations  and  to  profess 
a  Spartan-like  contempt  for  the  sybaritic  softness,  as  they  con- 
sidered it,  of  the  other  corps  of  the  army.  As  to  their  confi- 
dence in  his  ability  to  meet  and  to  dominate  any  situation,  it 
simply  had  no  bounds.  In  the  movement  on  Manassas  and 
during  the  engagement,  with  hostile  forces  coming  from  almost 
every  direction,  and  while  as  yet  we  had  no  tidings  of  Long- 
street,  we  were  remote  from  our  base  and  the  foe  was  in  su- 
perior force  between;  we  were  footsore  and  fagged  nearly  to 
the  limit  of  human  endurance,  but  there  was  no  faltering  in 
the  belief  that  Jackson  saw  his  way  out  of  the  toils  which  seemed 
to  compass  him  about,  as  he  had  aforetime  in  the  Valley  cam- 
paign. Those  thin  lines  never  held  their  ground  more  tena- 
ciously nor  charged  with  more  elan  than  during  those  eventful 
August  days. 

The  last  time  my  eyes  were  to  behold  him — how  well  it 
comes  to  mind! — was  upon  the  morning  of  the  fateful  May  2, 
18(5.3,  before  the  close  of  which  day  was  to  be  ended  his  career 
as  a  soldier.  We  were  moving  out  by  the  flank  on  a  little  wood- 
land road,  where  we  had  been  in  bivouac  the  night  before;  it 
was  a  gloomy,  overcast  morning,  as  if  giving  premonition  of 
the  calamity  to  come  to  us  before  the  next  rising  of  the  sun. 
Before  we  reached  the  plank  road,  in  a  small  opening  among

the  pines  were  two  mounted  figures  whom  we  recognized  as 
Lee  and  Jackson.  The  former  was  seemingly  giving  some  final 
instructions,  emphasizing  with  the  forefinger  of  his  gantleted 
right  hand  in  the  palm  of  the  left  what  he  was  saying — in- 
audible to  ns.  The  other,  wearing  a  long  rubber  coat  over  his 
uniform  (it  had  been  raining  a  little,  late  in  the  night),  was 
nodding  vivaciously  all  the  while. 

After  the  Confederate  success  at  Chancellorsville  came 
Gettysburg.  The  question  is  often  asked  what  would  have  hap- 
pened had  Jackson  been  present  on  that  memorable  field — 
Jackson,  the  man  who  was  always  up  to  time,  if  he  brought  but 
a  fragment  of  his  force  with  him,  and  whose  "  first  musket  on 
the  ground  was  fired."  As  General  Fitz  Lee  significantly 
related  the  case,  "  Suppose  Jackson  to  have  been  four  miles 
off  the  field  at  midnight  of  July  1st  and  been  advised  that 
General  Lee  wished  the  key-point  of  the  enemy's  position  at- 
tacked next  day;  would  the  time  of  that  attack  have  approxi- 
mated more  nearly  to  4  a.m.  or  4  p.m.?  " — for  answer,  see  the 
verse  already  quoted.  For  if  the  other  corps  commanders  did 
not  "  like  to  go  into  battle  with  one  boot  off,"  ours  would,  at  a 
pinch,  go  in  barefoot — but  he  got  there! 

In  the  numerous  discussions  of  the  Gettysburg  campaign 
which  have  come  into  notice  since  the  event,  much  space  has 
been  given  to  the  comparison  of  the  relative  forces  of  the  two 
armies  contending  on  that  field.  The  disparity  under  the  most 
liberal  estimates  inclines  always  in  favor  of  the  Federals,  yet  it 
seems  to  the  writer  that  not  enough  account  has  been  taken  of 
the  most  significant  shortage  on  the  Confederate  side  of  the 
balance.  Successful  battles  had  been  waged  and  won  more 
than  once  against  greater  odds,  in  point  of  mere  numbers — as 
at  Sharpsburg  (Antietam)  and  Chancellorsville,  for  instance. 
But  at  Gettysburg,  we  were  short  just  one  man — who  had  been 
dead  just  two  months — and  his  name  was  "  Stonewall"  Jackson.

Tn  the  assault  on  Petersburg,  June  IS,  18(i4,  these  hoys  from  Maine,  serving  as  infantry,  sustained  the  greatest 
loss  of  any  one  regiment  in  any  one  action  of  the  war.  Before  the  site  where  Fort  Stedman  was  subse- 
quently built  (»:!.")  men  were  killed  and  wounded  out  of  nine  hundred  engaged,  a  loss  of  over  seventy  per  cent. 
in  seven  minutes.  Such  slaughter  has  never  been  paralleled  in  any  warfare,  ancient  or  modern.  Of  all  the 
regiments  in  the  Union  armies  this  regiment  lost  most  during  the  four  years.  Twenty-three  officeis  and 
400  enlisted  men  were  killed  and  mortally  wounded,  and  two  hundred  and  sixty  died  of  disease.  The  First 
Maine  Heavy  Artillery  was  organized  at  Bangor,  and  mustered  in  August  21,  18(5-2.  It  left  the  State  for 
Washington  on  August  24th.  This  section  of  the  tremendous  regimental  quota— eighteen  hundred  men— is

April  '2.  1865.  After  taking  part  in  the  Grand  Review  at  Washington  and  remaining  in  its  defenses  till  Sep- 
tember 11th,  the  organization  was  mustered  out,  and  ordered  to  Bangor,  Maine.  On  September  20,  1865, 
the  survivors  of  this  "fighting  regiment"  were  mustered  out.  The  Second  Wisconsin  Infantry  lost  a  greater

LOSSES  IN  THE  BATTLES  OF  THE  CIVIL 
WAR,  AND  WHAT  THEY  MEAN 

By  HilxVry  A.  Herbert 

Late  Colonel,  Eighth  Alabama  Infantry,  Confederate  States  Army, 
and  late  Secretary  of  the  Navy  of  the  United  States 

STATISTICS  of  losses  in  battles  do  not  furnish  an  unfail- 
ing test  of  courage.  Mistakes  of  officers,  unavoidable  sur- 
prises— these,  now  and  then,  occasion  losses  that  soldiers  did  not 
knowingly  face,  and  there  are  sometimes  other  reasons  why 
the  carnage  in  a  particular  command  in  this  battle  or  that  does 
not  with  accuracy  indicate  steadfast  bravery.  Such  statistics, 
however,  as  all  military  experts  agree,  do  tell  a  graphic  story, 
when  exceptional  instances  are  not  selected. 

Colonel  Dodge,  in  his  "  Bird's-Eye  View  of  Our  Civil 
War,"  exhibits  statistics  showing  the  percentage  of  losses  in 
the  most  notable  battles  fought  since  1745,  and  from  them  de- 
duces this  conclusion,  "  It  thus  appears  that  in  ability  to  stand 
heavy  pounding,  since  Napoleon's  Waterloo  campaign,  the 
American  has  shown  himself  preeminent." 

Colonel  Dodge  would  have  been  justified  in  going  much 
further.  Waterloo  itself,  the  most  famous  of  the  world's  bat- 
tles, does  not  show  such  fighting  as  Americans  did  at  Sharps- 
burg  (Antietam),  Gettysburg,  or  Chickamauga. 

In  "  Stonewall  Jackson  and  the  American  Civil  War,"  by 
Lieutenant-Colonel  G.  F.  R.  Henderson,  a  British  military 
expert,  is  a  complete  list  of  killed  and  wounded  in  great  battles 
from  1704  to  1882,  inclusive.  Since  Eylau,  1807,  there  has 
been  no  great  battle  in  which  the  losses  of  the  victor — the  pun- 
ishment he  withstood  to  gain  his  victory — equal  the  twenty- 
seven  per  cent,  of  the  Confederates  in  their  victory  at  Chicka- 
mauga.

MORE  THAN  HALF  THIS   REGIMENT  WAS  KILLED  AND  WOUNDED  AT  THE     BATTLE     OF     CHH'KAMAUGA 


Lounging  beneath  the  Stars  and  Bars  are  eight  members  of  an  Augusta,  Georgia,  company — The  "  Clinch  Rifles.' '  Their  new  parapher- 
nalia is  beautifully  marked  "C.  R."  They  have  a  negro  servant.  In  a  word,  they  are  inexperienced  Confederate  volunteers  of  May, 
1801,  on  the  day  before  their  company  became  a  part  of  the  Fifth  Georgia  Regiment.  Pass  to  November,  1863;  imagine  six  of  the  sol- 
diers in  the  group  lying  dead  or  groaning  with  wounds,  and  but  three  unhurt, — and  you  have  figured  the  state  of  the  regiment  after  it 
was  torn  to  shreds  at  the  battle  of  Chiekamauga.  It  was  mustered  in  for  twelve  months  at  Macon,  Georgia,  May  11,  1861,  being  the  last 
regiment  taken  for  this  short  term.  The  Sixth  Georgia  and  those  following  were  mustered  in  for  three  years  or  the  war.  The  ( Hindi 
Rifles  were  sent  to  garrison  Pensacola,  Florida,  where  General  Braxton  Bragg  would  occasionally  conic  from  his  headquarters,  eight  miles 
away,  to  drill  them.  The  ten  companies  were  all  from  towns,  or  cities,  and  nicely  uniformed,  though  each  in  a  different  style.  This 
led  Bragg  to  name  them  his  "Pound  Cake  Regiment.'*  In  July  and  August,  1862,  the  Fifth  marched  from  Chattanooga,  Tennessee,  to 
liardstown,  Kentucky,  thence  to  the  eastern  part  of  the  State,  and  down  through  Cumberland  Gap  to  Knoxville,  800  miles  in  all.  It 
lost  heavily  in  the  battle  of  Murfreesboro.  At  bloody  Chiekamauga,  September  19  and  20, 1863,  its  killed  and  wounded  were  more  than 
54  per  cent,  of  the  regiment — surpassed  by  few  organizations  in  history.  It  suffered  again  at  Missionary  Ridge,  and  in  the  spring  of 
186-1,  when  it  stood  against  Sherman  through  the  Atlanta  campaign.  The  regiment  fought  on  through  the  campaigns  from  Savannah, 
Georgia,  up  to  North  Carolina,  and  in  the  last  combat  at  Benton ville,  North  Carolina.    It  surrendered  at  Greensboro,  April.  26,  1865. 


battle,  but  indicate  the  percentage  of  those  suffered  by  the  vic- 
tors only.  These  show  fighting  losses.  In  losses  by  a  defeated 
army,  those  received  in  retreating  cannot  be  separated  from 
tbose  received  in  fighting.  If.  however,  a  defeated  army  is 
not  routed,  but  retires,  still  in  fighting  condition,  and  the  foe 
is  so  crippled  that  he  cannot  make  effective  pursuit,  as  was  the 
case  at  Chickamauga,  or  if  the  defeated  army  does  not  leave 
the  field  at  all.  until,  say.  twenty-four  hours  after  the  battle,  as 
Avas  the  case  with  the  Confederates  at  Sharpsburg  and  Gettys- 
burg, the  losses  on  both  sides  are  to  be  counted  as  fighting 
losses,  and  their  percentage  is  a  fair  measure  of  "  capacity  to 
stand  pounding." 

Gaged,  then,  by  this  standard,  which  for  large  armies  in 
a  great  battle  is  absolutely  fair.  Waterloo  is  eclipsed  by  Get- 
tysburg; Gettysburg  is  eclipsed  by  Sharpsburg.  and  Sharps- 
burg eclipsed  by  Chickamauga. 

Here  are  some  of  Colonel  Plenderson's  percentages,  which 
tell  the  story,  the  percentage  of  the  Federal  losses  at  Chicka- 
mauga being  calculated  from  Henderson's  figures.  At  Water- 
loo, the  victors'  loss  was  twenty  per  cent.  At  Gettysburg,  the 
victors  lost  also  twenty  per  cent.  But,  at  Waterloo,  the  French 
army  dissolved :  at  Gettysburg,  the  Confederates  held  to  their 
position  nearly  all  the  following  day.  and  the  majority  of  the 
Confederates  did  not  know  they  had  been  defeated  there  until 
after  the  war. 

At  Sharpsburg.  their  victory  cost  the  Federals  not  twenty, 
but  twenty-three  per  cent.,  and  the  Confederates  held  fast  to 
their  position  all  the  next  day. 

At  Chickamauga.  their  victory  cost  the  Confederates 
twenty-seven  per  cent.,  and  the  Federals,  inflicting  this  loss, 
retreated:  but  General  Thomas,  the  '*  Rock  of  Chickamaima." 
still  held  fast  to  prevent  pursuit,  and  Kosecrans'  army  was 
ready  to  fight  the  next  day.  At  Waterloo,  the  entire  loss  in 
killed  and  wounded,  of  the  French,  was  thirty-one  per  cent.

()!'  the  Illinois  regiments  the  Thirty-sixth  fought  in  every  important  battle  of  the  entire  war  in  Western  ter- 
ritory, and  suffered  in  killed  alone  a  loss  of  no  less  than  14.8  per  cent.,  a  figure  exceeded  among  Illinois  organ- 
izations only  by  the  14.9  per  cent,  of  the  Ninety-third.  No  Federal  regiment  lost  as  much  as  20  per  cent, 
killed  and  only  L200  out  of  the  3,559  organizations  as  much  as  ten  per  cent.  The  Thirty-sixth  Illinois  lost  '■2()4

At  the  battle  of  Stone's  River,  Tennessee,  the  regiment  lost  forty-six  killed,  151  wounded,  and  fifteen  missing, 
a  total  of  212.  This  was  its  heaviest  blow  in  any  one  battle.  It  fought  at  Pea  Ridge,  an  early  engagement  in 
the  West,  at  Chaplin  Hills,  at  the  bloody  battle  of  Chickamauga,  and  on  the  corpse-strewn  slopes  of  Mission- 
ary Ridge.  It  fought  under  Sherman  from  Resaca  to  Atlanta,  and  when  that  general  marched  away  on  his 
expedition  to  the  coast,  the  Thirty-sixth  turned  back  to  suffer  its  fourth  largest  loss  in  killed  at  the  battle  of 
Franklin,  and  to  help  Thomas  crush  Hood  at  the  battle  of  Nashville.  Such  were  the  Western  fighting  regiments.

(fjj&imti&^\   This  loss  utterly  destroyed  the  army.     The  Federals  at  Chicka- 
mauga  withstood  a  loss  practically  the  same — thirty  per  cent, 
and  still  successfully  defied  the  Confederates  to  attack  them 
in  Chattanooga. 

The  percentage  of  loss  in  hattle  by  an  entire  army  is,  of 
course,  obtained  by  including  all  present — those  participating 
slightly,  or  even  not  at  all,  as  well  as  those  who  bore  the  brunt 
of  the  fight. 

Bearing  this  in  mind,  the  reader  will  note  to  the  credit  of 
these  troops  that  the  dreadful  losses  sustained  at  Sharpsburg 
by  the  Fifteenth  Massachusetts,  Twenty-eighth  Pennsylvania, 
Ninth  New  York,  Twelfth  Massachusetts,  First  Delaware, 
and  other  regiments;  at  Stone's  River,  December  31,  18G2, 
by  the  Eighteenth  United  States  Infantry,  Twenty-second 
Illinois,  and  other  regiments;  at  Gettysburg,  by  the  Twenty- 
fourth  Michigan,  One  hundred  and  eleventh  New  York,  First 
Minnesota,  One  hundred  and  twenty-sixth  New  York,  and  One 
hundred  and  fifty-first  Pennsylvania,  were  all  suffered  while 
the  Federals  were  winning  victories — suffered  fighting,  not  in 
retreating. 

So,  also,  the  losses  at  the  Wilderness  of  the  Second  Ver- 
mont, Fourth  Vermont,  and  Ninety-third  New  York,  oc- 
curred when  the  Federals,  for  the  most  part,  held  their  ground. 
And  nearly  all  the  astonishing  losses  of  the  Confederate  regi- 
ments were  suffered  when  they  were  either  winning  victories 
or  stubbornly  holding  on  to  the  field  of  battle. 

Altogether,  the  casualties  in  the  greatest  of  the  battles 
of  the  Civil  War,  whether  considered  in  the  aggregate  or  in 
the  tragic  light  of  regimental  losses,  make  up  a  wonderful 
record.

as  twenty-three,  the  Confederate  loss  as  thirty-two;  the  Japa- 
nese loss  at  Mukden  as  14.1  and  at  Lio-Yang  as  18.5.  These 
were  the  bloodiest  of  the  much  landed  Japanese  victories.  This 
fighting  does  not  compare  with  that  in  the  American  Civil  War. 

In  the  great  Franco-Prussian  war  there  is  but  one  battle 
in  which  the  percentage  of  the  victor's  loss  is  at  all  in  the  same 
class  in  the  American  Civil  War,  and  that  is  Vionville,  1870, 
where  the  victor's  loss  was  twenty-two,  as  compared  with 
twenty-seven  at  Chickamauga.  So  it  may  be  said  fairly  that, 
for  a  century,  the  world  has  seen  no  such  stubborn  fighter  as 
the  American  soldier. 

In  studying  the  statistics  of  the  various  regiments  whose 
losses  are  tabulated  in  this  volume,  the  reader  will  discover 
that  very  many  of  these  were  suffered  in  great  battles,  the  na- 
ture of  which  has  been  told  briefly;  and  he  must  remember  that 
neither  of  the  armies  suffered  at  any  time  any  such  signal 
defeat  as  would  account  for  very  heavy  losses.  The  First 
Manassas  (Bull  Run)  is  no  exception  to  this.  The  Confed- 
erates did  not  follow,  and  their  losses  in  killed  and  wounded 
were  heavier  than  those  of  the  Federals. 

What  some  of  the  foreign  military  experts  think  of  us  as 
fighters  we  may  learn  by  extracts  taken  from  their  writings, 
italicizing  at  will.  The  late  Lieutenant-Colonel  Henderson  was 
professor  of  military  art  and  history  at  the  Staff  College  of 
Great  Britain.    He  says,  in  his  "  The  Science  of  War  ": 

The  War  of  Secession  was  waged  on  so  vast  a  scale,  employed  so 
large  a  part  of  the  manhood  of  both  North  and  South  America,  aroused 
to  such  a  degree  the  sympathies  of  the  entire  nation,  and,  in  its  brilliant 
achievements,  both  by  land  and  sea,  bears  such  splendid  testimony  to 
the  energy  and  fortitude  of  their  race,  that  in  the  minds  of  the  American 
people  it  has  roused  an  interest  which  shows  no  sign  of  abating. 

Further  on  in  the  same  essay  he  states: 

Now,  if  there  is  one  tiling  more  than  another  apparent  to  the  stu- 
dent of  the  Civil  War,  it  is  that  the  soldiers  on  both  sides  were  exceed- 
ingly -well  matched  in  courage  and  endurance.

CONFEDERATE 


COMMANDERS    OF 
BRIGADES    WHICH    SUFFERED 


heavily  in  rattle 


The  forces  here  credited  with  these  "  brilliant  achieve- 
ments "  in  1861-65  are  now  thoroughly  united,  and  would 
stand  shoulder  to  shoulder  against  a  foreign  foe.  Our  popula- 
tion has  increased  threefold,  while  our  military  resources,  our 
capacity  to  equip  and  to  convey  food  to  armies,  to  manufac- 
ture arms,  and  to  build  ships,  even  in  the  interior  if  need  be.  has 
increased  tenfold.  Our  rivers  still  traverse  the  land,  but  the 
art  of  mining  waters,  practised  with  some  success  by  the  Con- 
federates, has  developed  until  no  foe  would  think  of  exploit- 
ing these  rivers  with  vessels  in  advance  of  troops. 

Aye,  but  the  spirit  of  our  people,  say  the  alarmists — 
we  have  lost  patriotism,  become  commercialized,  money-mad. 
and  have  now  no  militant  instinct.  To  an  old  Confederate 
this  prattle  about  our  people  being  "  commercialized  "  is  es- 
pecially amusing.  It  carries  him  back  to  1860-61.  In  the 
hot  sectional  animosities  that  brought  on  the  war  he  had  im- 
bibed that  same  idea  about  the  North — the  "  Yankee  "  now 
worshiped  "the  Almighty  Dollar,"  and  in  his  all-absorbing 
struggle  for  it  had  lost  the  spirit  that  animated  his  forefathers 
at  Lexington,  Bunker  Hill,  and  Saratoga.  When  the  news 
of  Manassas  came,  many  an  ambitious  Confederate  who  was 
so  unfortunate  as  not  to  have  been  there,  felt  like  going  into 
mourning.  He  was  never  to  have  a  chance  to  "flesh  his 
maiden  sword."  But  the  young  Confederate  was  miscalcula- 
ting. The  exasperated  North  roused  itself,  after  Manassas, 
like  an  angry  lion  pricked  by  the  spear  of  the  hunter,  and 
soon  we  were  to  hear  its  roar. 

In  reference  to  inexperienced  volunteers,  it  must  be  said. 
as  every  veteran  of  the  Civil  War  knows,  that  it  was  not  always 
the  oldest  regiments  that  were  the  bravest.  In  the  gallant, 
though  finally  unsuccessful,  assault  that  was  made  by  the  Fed- 
erals at  Salem  Church,  May  3,  1863,  just  where  the  Confed- 
erate line  was  broken  for  a  time,  the  official  reports  show  that 
the  One  hundred  and  twenty-first  New  York  was  in  the  fore-

On  this  and  the  following  six  pages  are  portraits  of  the  fifty-one  Union  generals  killed  in  battle. 
Beneath  each  portrait  is  the  date  and  place  of  death,  or  mortal  wounding.  Since  no  such 
pictorial  necrology  existed  to  aid  the  editors  of  this  History,  many  questions  arose — such  as 
the  determination  of  the  actual  rank  of  an  officer  at  a  given  date,  or  the  precise  circumstances 
of  death  in  certain  instances.  The  list  of  Colonel  W.  F.  Fox,  presented  in  his  work  on  "Regi-

front,  and  its  gallant  Colonel  Upton  in  his  report  says  this 
was  the  regiment's  first  battle.  Its  loss,  as  officially  reported, 
was  two  hundred  and  twenty-two  killed  and  wounded. 

At  Fredericksburg,  December  13,  18(52,  Franklin  with  the 
Federal  left  broke  through  Jackson's  lines.  The  Confederates 
restored  their  line  after  heavy  losses,  and  in  this  counterstroke 
a  North  Carolina  regiment,  fresh  from  home,  drove  headlong 
through  the  Northern  lines  and  was  with  difficulty  recalled. 
The  apology  of  one  of  its  privates,  when  it  got  back  into  line, 
caused  a  laugh  all  through  the  army.  "  If  we  had  a-knowed 
how  to  fight  like  you  fellows,  we  coidd  have  done  better!  " 

In  the  work:  "  Der  Biirga-kricg  in  den  Nordamerikan- 
ischen  Staaten  "hy  Major  Scheibert,  of  the  German  Engineer 
Corps,  the  author  says: 

After  the  European  cavalry  had  been  discredited  in  the  wars  of 
185-4  and  1859,  the  American  mounted  troops  hrought  genuine  joy 
to  the  heart  of  every  true  cavalryman,  showing  by  their  service  and 
bravery  that  a  better  future  might  vet  be  in  store  for  the  European 
cavalry.  We  could  not  help  sympathizing  with  the  rise  of  the  true 
spirit  of  knighthood  without  fear  or  blame,  and  with  the  many  gallant 
deeds  which  promised  better  results. 

We  could  multiply  indefinitely  these  extracts,  but  space 
forbids.  From  the  preface  to  the  work  of  Cecil  Battine,  Cap- 
tain, Fifteenth,  The  King's,  Hussars,  entitled:  "  The  Crisis  of

The  history  of  the  American  Civil  War  still  remains  the 
most  important  theme  for  the  student  and  the  statesman  because  it 
was  waged  between  adversaries  of  the  highest  intelligence  and  courage, 
who  fought  by  land  and  sea  over  an  enormous  area  with  every  device 
within  the  reach  of  human  ingenuity,  and  who  had  to  create  every  organ- 
ization needed  for  the  purpose  after  the  struggle  had  begun.  The  ad- 
miration which  the  valor  of  the  Confederate  soldiers  fighting  against 
superior  numbers  and  resources  excited  in  Europe;  the  dazzling  genius

of  some  of  the  Confederate  generals,  and,  in  some  measure,  jealousy  at 
the  power  of  the  United  States  have  ranged  the  sympathies  of  the  world 
during  the  war  and  ever  since  to  a  large  degree  on  the  side  of  the  van- 
quished. Justice  has  hardly  been  done  to  the  armies  which  arose  time 
and  again  from  sanguinary  repulses,  and  from  disasters  more  demoral- 
izing than  any  repulse  in  the  field,  because  they  were  caused  by  political 
and  military  incapacity  in  high  places,  to  redeem  which  the  soldiers 
freely  shed  their  blood,  as  it  seemed,  in  rain.  If  the  heroic  endurance  of 
the  Southern  people  and  the  fiery  valor  of  the  Southern  armies  thrill 
us  to-day  with  wonder  and  admiration,  the  stubborn  tenacity  and  cour- 
age which  succeeded  in  preserving  intact  the  heritage  of  the  American 
nation,  and  which  triumphed  over  foes  so  formidable,  are  not  less  worthy 
of  praise  and  imitation.  The  Americans  still  hold  the  world's  record 
for  hard  fighting. 

This  extract  brings  to  mind  that  what  impressed  the  Con- 
federate in  Lee's  army  with  most  admiration  for  the  Army 
of  the  Potomac  was,  not  its  brave  stand  at  Malvern  Hill  fol- 
lowing a  series  of  disasters,  not  its  dogged  perseverance  when 
attacking  an  impregnable  position  at  Marye's  Heights,  not 
its  indomitable  spirit  at  the  "  bloody  angle."  Spotsylvania, 
but  the  fact  that  no  mistakes  of  its  generals  or  of  the  author- 
Always  and 
There 

never  was  but  one  Bull  Run.  Three  successive  changes  were 
made  in  its  commanders,  from  Yorktown  to  the  Wilderness, 
and  yet  that  gallant  army  never  lost  faith  in  itself,  as  the 
following  incident  illustrates.  In  the  winter  of  1863-64,  the 
writer,  then  an  officer  in  Lee's  army,  met  between  the  picket 
lines  near  Orange  Court  House,  Virginia,  a  lieutenant  of  a 
New  York  regiment.  During  our  conversation  the  lieutenant 
said,  "  Well,  we  are  on  the  road  to  Richmond  again."  '  Yes," 
was  the  reply:  "  but  you  will  never  get  there."  "  Oh.  yes.  we 
will  after  a  while,"  said  the  lieutenant,  "  and  if  you  will  swap 
generals  with  us,  we'll  be  there  in  three  weeks."  Just  before 
we  parted,  the  lieutenant  proposed,  "Here's  my  toast:  May 
the  best  man  win!  "  and  we  drank  it  heartily.

Major  G.  W.  Redway,  referring  to  the  volunteers  of  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac,  1864,  writes  as  follows: 

The  American  volunteer  who  had  survived  such  battles  as  Bull 
Run,  Shiloh,  Antietam,  and  the  Seven  Days'  fighting  around  Rich- 
mond, was  probably  such  a  soldier  as  the  world  had  never  seen-  before. 
He  needed  no  instruction  as  to  his  duty  in  the  field,  and,  in  fact,  often 
exercised  the  functions  of  instructor  both  to  officers  and  men  less  ex- 
perienced than  himself. 

The  impressions  Federal  and  Confederate  soldiers  made 
on  foreign  critics  were  not  lost  on  themselves.  They  were 
testing  each  other's  courage,  endurance,  and  patriotism,  and 
coming  to  understand  the  situation  as  well.  Four-fifths  of 
the  Confederates  had  never  owned  a  slave.  It  was  not  slavery 
—  both  armies  were  fighting  for  the  preservation  of  the  same 
free  institutions,  for  what  each  helieved  to  be  his  Constitutional 
rights. 

The  first  step  toward  reunion  was  being  taken  when 
picket  shooting  was  stopped;  and  the  armies  of  Northern  Vir- 
ginia and  of  the  Potomac  went  far  beyond  that,  when  encamped 
on  ojjposite  banks  of  the  Rappahannock,  near  Fredericksburg, 
during  the  winter  and  spring  of  1862-63.  They  chatted, 
traded  tobacco  for  sugar  and  coffee,  and  frequently  visited 
each  other  across  the  narrow  stream.  A  Confederate  officer 
riding  along  the  bank  visiting  his  outposts  was  often  saluted 
by  a  picket  across  the  river,  within  easy  gunshot.  Similar 
compliments  passed  between  pickets  in  gray  and  officers  in 
blue.  These  soldiers  were  testifying  their  respect  for  each 
other,  with  little  idea,  on  the  part  of  the  Confederates,  that  they 
would  ever  again  he  fellow  countrymen. 

Eventually  both  generals.  Hooker  and  Lee,  issued  or- 
ders strictly  forbidding  all  intercommunication.  Just  after 
these  orders,  an  incident  occurred  which  the  writer  long  ago 
gave  to  the  newspapers  in  the  hope,  which  proved  vain,  that  he 
might   hear  from  the  Union  soldier.     A  Confederate  officer

rode  suddenly  out  of  the  woods  on  to  his  picket-post  at  Scott's 
dam.  just  above  Banks'  Ford.  A  Federal  soldier  was  nearing 
the  south  bank  of  the  river,  newspaper  in  band.  The  soldier 
reluctantly  came  ashore,  insisting  that  be  should  be  allowed 
to  return ;  the  Confederate  pickets  bad  promised  it.  "  Yes," 
was  the  reply.  "  but  they  violated  orders,  and  you  violated 
orders  on  your  side  when  you  came  over,  and  I  happen  to  know 
it.  Orders  must  be  obeyed.  You  are  my  prisoner."  The  sol- 
dier, who  was  a  big,  manly  fellow,  stood  straight  as  an  arrow, 
looked  the  officer  in  the  face,  and  with  tears  in  his  eyes,  said: 
"  Colonel,  shoot  me,  if  you  want  to,  but  for  God's  sake  don't 
take  me  prisoner.  I  have  been  in  the  army  only  six  weeks. 
I  have  never  been  in  battle,  and  if  I  am  taken  prisoner  under 
these  circumstances,  I  will  never  get  over  it — it  will  always  be 
believed  that  I  deserted." 

The  officer  hesitated  for  a  moment,  and  then  said,  "  Give 
me  that  paper  and  go,  and  tell  your  people  you  are  the  last 
man  that  will  ever  come  over  here  and  get  back."  Such  an 
incident  at  the  outset  of  the  war  would  have  been  inconceivable. 

It  was  in  tins  spirit  of  kindly  regard  for  each  other  that 
the  war  between  the  two  armies  went  on,  from  Fredericksburg 
to  Appomattox.  It  manifested  itself  with  increasing  tender- 
ness after  every  bloody  battle.  It  inspired  Grant  when  he  said 
to  Lee,  "  Your  men  will  need  their  horses  to  make  a  crop." 
It  animated  Grant's  soldiers  when  they  gave  no  cheer  at  the 
surrender,  and  when  they  divided  their  rations  with  the  men 
who,  in  tears,  laid  down  their  arms.  It  did  not  die  when  the 
Confederates  accepted  the  results  of  the  war. 

Time  has  onlv  hallowed  the  memory  of  the  glorious  man- 
hood  displayed  in  those  days  by  the  men  of  both  armies.  The 
soldiers,  had  their  sentiments  prevailed,  would  soon  have  bound 
up  the  wounds  of  war,  as  they  did  those  received  in  battle. 
But  politicians,  for  a  time,  interfered.

Of  untold  benefit  have  been  the  meeting  of  the  Phila- 
delphia Brigade  and  Pickett's  men  at  Gettysburg,  the  visits  of 
Massachusetts  soldiers  to  Richmond,  and  of  Virginia  Con- 
federates  to  Boston,  and  many  similar  occasions.  These, 
coupled  with  the  strewing  of  flowers,  in  18G7,  by  Southern 
women  at  Columbus.  Mississippi,  on  the  graves  of  Union  sol- 
diers, which  brought  from  a  Northern  man  that  beautiful 
poem,  "  The  Blue  and  the  Gray,"  and  a  thousand  similar  in- 
cidents, have  resulted  in  those  acts  that  passed  in  Congress  by 
unanimous  votes,  one  providing  for  a  Confederate  section  in 
Arlington  Cemetery,  the  other  looking  to  the  care  of  the  Con- 
federate dead  at  Arlington  and  around  the  Federal  prisons 
in  the  North. 

Presidents  Cleveland,  McKinley,  Boosevelt,  and  Taft 
have  each  and  all.  by  deeds  and  words,  hail  their  full  share  in 
the  work  of  perfect  reunion.  And  all  over  the  land  there  are 
monuments  to  the  dead  of  the  Civil  War,  bearing  inscriptions 
that  will  outlast  the  marble  and  bronze  upon  which  thev  are 
written.  Such  is  the  legend  on  the  monument  built  by  the 
State  of  Pennsylvania  to  its  dead  at  Vieksburg,  "  Here 
brothers  fought  for  their  principles,  here  heroes  died  to  save 
their  country,  and  a  united  people  will  forever  cherish  the 
precious  legacy  of  their  noble  manhood." 

Another  such  is  on  a  monument  erected  by  the  State  of 
New  Jersey,  and  the  survivors  of  the  Twenty-third  Xew  Jer- 
sey Volunteers  at  Salem  Church,  Virginia.  On  one  side  is  an 
appropriate  inscription  to  their  own  dead;  on  the  other,  a  bronze 
tablet  bearing  this  magnanimous  tribute,  "  To  the  brave  Ala- 
bama boys  who  were  our  opponents  on  this  Held  and  whose 
memory  we  honor,  this  tablet  is  dedicated."  That  is  a  tribute, 
not  by  a  Government,  but  directly  by  the  men  who  fought  to 
the  men  who  foujjht  them.     It  is  trulv  noble.

DEATHS  IN   CONFEDERATE   ARMIES 

A  tabulation  of  Confederate  losses  as  compiled  from  the  muster-rolls  on  file  in  the  Bureau  of  Confederate 
Archives.  (In  the  report  for  1865-66,  made  by  General  James  B.  Fry,  United  States  Provost  Marshal- 
General.)  These  returns  are  incomplete,  and  nearly  all  the  Alabama  rolls  are  missing.  Still  the  figures 
show  that  at  least  74,524  Confederate  soldiers  were  killed  or  died  of  wounds,  and  that  59,297  died  of  disease.

Colonel  W.  F.  Fox,  the  authority  on  Civil  War  Statistics,  states:  "If  the  Confederate  rolls  could  have 
been  completed,  and  then  revised — as  has  been  done  with  the  rolls  of  the  Union  regiments — the  number 
of  killed,  as  shown  above  (74,524),  would  be  largely  increased.  As  it  is,  the  extent  of  such  increase  must 
remain  a  matter  of  conjecture.  The  Union  rolls  were  examined  at  the  same  time,  and  a  similar  tabulation 
of  the  number  killed  appears,  also,  in  General  Fry's  report.  But  this  latter  number  was  increased  15,000 
by  a  subsequent  revision  based  upon  the  papers  known  as  "final  statements"  and  upon  newly-acquired 
information  received  through  affidavits  filed  at  the  Pension  Bureau."

SUMMARY  OF   ORGANIZATIONS  IN  THE   CONFEDERATE  ARMY 

Any  attempt  to  present  in  statistical  form  the  strength  of  the  Confederate  armies  is  manifestly  impos- 
sible, as  was  explained  by  General  Marcus  J.  Wright  in  his  introductory  chapter  in  Volume  I  of  the  Photo- 
graphic History.  The  same  conditions  also  render  futile  any  accurate  comparison  of  the  troops  furnished 
to  the  Confederate  armies  by  the  various  states  of  the  South.  Nevertheless,  by  tabulating  the  various 
organizations  and  bearing  in  mind  the  limitations  of  the  method  as  well  as  the  original  data,  a  slight  basis 
is  afforded  to  gain  some  idea  of  the  relative  numbers  contributed  by  the  different  States.  Furthermore, 
the  numbers  of  the  organizations  when  summarized  are  of  interest  in  comparison  with  those  given  above. 

No  complete  official  roll  of  regiments  and  other  organizations  in  the  Confederate  army  is  to  be  found 
either  in  the  archives  of  the  United  States  War  Department  or  published  in  the  War  Records,  and  it  is 
difficult,  if  not  impossible,  to  give  either  an  accurate  list  or  the  total  number.  Various  lists  have  been  com- 
piled by  private  individuals,  but  none  of  these  show  absolute  accuracy,  and  all  differ  among  themselves. 
A  list  prepared  by  Colonel  Henry  Stone,  a  member  of  the  Military  Historical  Society  of  Massachusetts, 
was  made  the  basis  of  the  following  table  by  Colonel  Thomas  L.  Livermore,  which  is  published  in  his  vol- 
ume "Numbers  and  Losses  in  the  Civil  War."    This  list  General  Wright  states  is  as  accurate  as  can  be  found.

Snjimmtai  (Uasualttrs  in  tip  Union  Arum 


IN  any  discussion  of  the  total  or  relative  casu- 
alties suffered  by  a  military  organization  in 
a  war.  or  in  any  particular  engagement,  it  must 
be  borne  in  mind  that  the  entire  subject  is  one 
around  which  many  questions  center.  The  general 
consideration  has  been  discussed  by  Colonel  Hil- 
ary A.  Herbert  in  the  preceding  chapter.  It  now 
remains  to  give  the  readers  of  the  l'liOTOGitAVHlc' 
History  some  few  exact  statistics  of  the  losses 
Suffered   in  both  great  armies. 

In  the  official  records  there  are  summarized 
with  considerable  completeness  the  enlistments  and 
casualties  for  the  various  regiments  and  other 
organizations  of  the  Union  army.  The  reports 
for  the  most  part  are  complete  and  comprehensive, 
admitting  of  full  discussion,  yet  often  there  is 
great  difficulty  in  reducing  the  vast  amount  of 
material  to  a  common  denominator  for  purposes 
of  comparison.  The  problem  is  to  consider  the 
various  elements  in  their  relations  one  to  another. 
Thus,  it  is  possible  to  take  those  regiments  where 
the  number  killed  or  died  of  wounds  during  the 
entire  period  of  service  stood  at  a  maximum  in 
comparison  with  other  organizations.  Further- 
more, it  is  possible  to  consider  such  casualties 
relatively,  depending  upon  the  strength  of  the  or- 
ganization, and  this  latter  method  gives  a  clear 
indication  of  the  efficiency  of  the  regiment  during 
its  entire  period  of  service.  Large  total  losses 
mean  that  the  regiment  was  at  the  fore-front  of 
the  fighting  in  many  battles  and  not  necessarily 
unduly  exposed  at  one  particular  action. 

Such  is  the  list  to  be  found  on  page  154,  com- 


piled from  the  authoritative  work  of  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  William  F.  Fox,  U.  S.  V.— "  Regimental 
Losses  in  the  Civil  War."  It  is,  indeed,  a  record 
of  valor;  the  fifty  regiments  here  listed  are  entitled 
to  places  of  high  honor  on  the  scroll  of  history. 
It  is,  all  things  considered,  the  most  useful  basis  of 
making  a  comparison  of  the  services  of  the  dif- 
ferent regiments,  and  it  is  one  which  unfortunately 
cannot  be  made  for  the  regiments  comprising  the 
Confederate  army,  on  account  of  the  absence  of 
suitable  rosters  and  reports. 

Now,  if  we  should  consider  the  maximum  per- 
centage of  casualties  based  on  the  total  of  killed, 
wounded,  and  missing,  a  similar  roll  could  be 
constructed.  It  would  be  headed  by  the  First 
.Minnesota  Infantry,  which,  at  the  battle  of 
Gettysburg,  with  262  men  engaged  on  the  second 
day,  lost  168  wounded  and  47  killed,  or  a  per- 
centage of  82.  In  fact,  other  regiments  standing 
at  the  top  of  such  a  list  are  worthy  of  note,  and 
a  few  such,  as  listed  by  Colonel  Fox,  are  given  in 
the  table  at  the  bottom  of  this  page. 

The  tabular  statement  on  page  154  must  be 
considered,  therefore,  as  suggestive  rather  than 
complete.  The  selection  of  fifty  regiments  is  an 
arbitrary  one;  for,  of  over  two  thousand  regiments 
in  the  Union  army,  45  infantry  regiments  lost 
over  200  men  killed  or  mortally  wounded  in  action 
during  the  war.  In  fact.  Colonel  Fox  has  com- 
piled a  list,  of  300  fighting  regiments,  which  lost 
over  130  who  were  killed  and  died  of  wounds  dur- 
ing the  war,  or  which,  with  a  smaller  enrollment, 
suffered  an  equivalent  percentage  of  casualties.

&mxw  QJasualttrs  of  (Coufrurratr  iRnjunrnts 

By  General  Marcus  J.  Wright,  Confederate  States  Army 


AT  the  time  when  Lieutenant-Colonel  William 
F.  Fox,  U.  S.  V.,  published  his  valuable  and 
exceedingly  accurate  work,  entitled  "  Regimental 
Losses  of  the  American  Civil  War.  1861-1865," 
many  regimental  reports  were  missing  or  inacces- 
sible, so  that  this  work,  in  many  respects  a  stand- 
ard as  far  as  Confederate  material  was  con- 
cerned, necessarily  is  incomplete. 

No  compilation  of  statistics  exists  correspond- 
ing to  that  given  for  the  Union  armies  on  a  pre- 
ceding page,  and  but  little  exact  statistical 
information  of  a  broad  character  is  available. 
Therefore,  it  seems  desirable  here  to  give  on  a  fol- 
lowing page  a  table  from  Colonel  Fox's  book, 
which  shows  remarkable  percentages  of  losses  in 
Confederate  regiments  at  particular  engagements. 
This  list  contains  only  a  few  of  the  many  instances 
of  regiments  suffering  a  heavy  percentage  of  loss. 
The  list  is  compiled  from  the  few  cases  in  which 
the  official  Confederate  reports  on  tile  in  the 
United  States  War  Department  mention  the  num- 
ber of  effectives  taken  into  action  as  well  as  the 
actual  losses. 

Because  of  these  statistical  deficiencies,  no  com- 
plete catalogue  of  distinguished  Confederate  regi- 
ments based  on  the  records  of  battlefield  casualties 
is  possible.  This  is  especially  regrettable  to  those 
who  recall  the  conspicuous  services  of  many  or- 
ganizations from  the  very  outset. 

In  addition  to  Colonel  Fox's  table  we  give  a  few 
other  notable  instances.  At  the  first  battle  of  Bull 
Run,  the  :3.'3d  Virginia  lost  4.5  killed  and  101 
wounded,  and  the  27th  Virginia  lost  15)  killed  and 
122  wounded.  Hampton's  Legion  lost  19  killed 
and  100  wounded. 

The  2d  Georgia  had  the  longest  service  of  any 
infantry  regiment  from  that  State.  In  the  Seven 
Days'  around  Richmond,  with  271  men  in  the  field, 
it  lost  120.  At  .Malvern  Hill,  it  lost  SI  men  and 
about  the  same  number  at  Gettysburg. 

At  Mills  Springs,  Ivy.,  the  15th  Mississippi 
Regiment  lost  46  killed  and  153  wounded.  The 
8th  Kentucky  regiment  at  Fort  Donelson,  Tenn., 
lost  27  killed"  and  72  wounded.  The  4th  Tennes- 
see, at  Shiloh,  lost  36  killed  and  18:3  wounded, 
while  the  4th  Kentucky  lost  80  killed  and  183 
wounded.     The    12th    Mississippi,    at    Fair    Oaks. 

[  150 


\'a..  lost  41  killed  and  152  wounded.  Hampton's 
Legion,  a  South  Carolina  organization,  at  Fair

Note — This  list  does  not  aim  to  include  all  the  notable  instances  of  remarkable  casualties  of  regiments  in  the  Confederate  Army. 

It  was  based  by  Colonel  Fox  on  available  records  where  the  numbers  taken  into  action  as  well  as  the  casualties  were 

specified  in   official   reports.     The   list  is  suggestive   rather  than  complete,  as  many  regiments  omitted

"FIGHTING  JOE  HOOKER"  WITH   HIS  STAFF 


"  Fighting  Joe  Hooker"  was  a  man  of  handsome  physique  and  intense  personal  magnetism.  He  graduated  at  West  Point  in  1837  in 
the  same  class  with  Jubal  A.  Early  and  Braxton  Bragg.  Having  fought  through  the  Mexican  War.  he  resigned  from  the  army  in  1853. 
On  May  17.  1861,  he  was  appointed  brigadier-general  of  volunteers,  and  on  May  .">.  lS(>->.  major-general  of  volunteers.  He  was  active

Sherman  at  Dalton  and  Resaca,  and  in  the  attack  on  Atlanta.  At  his  own  request  (July  30,  1864)  he  was  placed  on  waiting  orders

THE  ARMY  OF  GEORGIA— ON    PARADE,   GENERAL  SLOCUM  AT  THE  HEAD 


Wry  different  from  the  march  through  Georgia  and  the  Carolinas  was  this  magnificent  parade  of  the  Army  of 
Georgia  down  Pennsylvania  Avenue.  In  front  ride  General  Slocum  and  his  staff.  Behind  come  the  long 
straight  lines  of  men  who  proved  the  Confederacy  a  hollow  shell  with  all  of  its  fighting  men  at  the  front. 
Eagerly  crowding  close  to  the  line  of  march  are  the  citizens  of  Washington  who  had  alternately  clamored  for 
action,  and  shaken  in  their  boots  when  the  daring  Confederate  leaders  pressed  close  to  the  Northern  capital. 
Many  a  heartfelt  prayer  of  thanks  and  relief  was  offered  when  mothers  saw  their  boys  march  past,  unscathed 
by  the  war  and  about  to  reenter  civil  life.     Many  a  tear  fell  for  those  who  could  not  be  there  to  share  the  glory. 

[162] 


At  Gaines'  Mill,  Slocum's  Division  of  the  Sixth  ( lorps  was  sent 
to  the  support  of  General  Porter,  and  lost  2,021  out  of  less  than 
8,000  present  in  the  hot  engagement.  It  was  in  front  of  Fred- 
ericksburg May  3,  1863,  under  General  Sedgwiek,  that  the 
Corps  made  its  most  brilliant  display  of  dash  and  daring.  It 
ea tried  at  the  point  of  the  bayonet  Maryc's  Heights,  the  strong 
position  before  which  there  had  fallen,  gloriously  but  in  vain, 
nearly  13,000  men  the  previous  December.  Most  of  the  ( lorps 
was  held  in  reserve  at  Gettysburg,  and  its  casualties  there  were 
slight,  but  it  added  again  to  its  laurels  at  Rappahannock  Sta-

countered its  hardest  fighting,  the  percentage  of  killed  of  the 
Fifteenth  New  Jersey  in  the  latter  battle  being  equaled  in  only 
one  instance  during  the  whole  war.  At  Cold  Harbor  it  suf- 
fered heavily  again,  and  the  appearance  of  two  of  its  divisions 
at  Fort  Stevens  checked  Early's  advance  on  Washington.  It 
pursued  Early  up  the  Shenandoah,  and  fought  at  Opequon  and 
Cedar  Creek.  In  the  final  assault  on  Petersburg  it  played 
an  important  part.  It  was  no  less  prominent  in  its 
final  appearance  at  the  Grand  Review  in  Washington.

BY  the  provisions  of  the  Constitution,  the 
President  of  the  United  States  is  commander- 
in-chief  of  the  army  and  navy.  During  the  Civil 
War,  this  function  was  exercised  in  no  small  de- 
gree by  President  Lincoln.  As  Secretaries  of  War. 
he  had  in  his  cabinet  Simon  Cameron,  from  March 
4,  1861.  to  January  14,  1862;  and  Edward  M. 
Stanton,  who  served  from  January  15.  1862. 
throughout  Lincoln's  administration,  and  also 
under  Johnson  until  May  28,  1868,  except  for  a 
short  interval  during  which  he  was  suspended. 
There  were  four  generals-in-chief  of  the  armies: 
Brevet  lieutenant-General  Scott,  Major-Generals 
McClellan  and  Halleck,  and  Lieutenant-General 
Grant.  The  last  named  has  been  considered  in 
previous  pages  of  this  volume,  but  the  lives  and 
services  of  the  other  three  are  summarized  below, 
in  addition  to  the  treatment  received  in  other 
volumes.  (Consult  Index.)  This  is  true  of  all 
the  army  leaders  not  separately  described  in  the 
pages  that  follow.  The  Index  "ill  refer  to  treat- 
ment in  other  volumes. 

Lieutenant-General  Winfield  Scott  was 
bom  near  Petersburg,  Virginia,  June  1:5.  1786. 
After  being  graduated  from  William  anil  Mary 
College,  he  studied  law.  was  admitted  to  the  liar, 
and  then  entered  the  army  at  the  age  of  twenty- 
two.     His  career  was  one  of  bravery  and  incident. 

He  was  captured  by   the   British,  hut   exchanged  in 

lSl-'J.  fought  in  the  battle  of  Lundy's  Lane,  and 
was  severely  wounded.  After  the  close  of  the  war 
he  was  raised  to  the  rank  <>f  ma jor -general,  and  in 
1N-U  succeeded  General  Macomb  a-,  commander 
of  the  United  States  army.  In  the  war  with  Mex 
ico,  he  won  great  fame  and  was  nominated  by  the 
Whigs  for  President  in  1852;  but  he  carried  only 
four  Staler.  Iii  ls.V).  Congress  revived  the  rank 
of  lieutenant-general   and   conferred   it    by   brevet 

upon    Scott,    the    appointment    being    dated    March 

29,  1H17,  the  day  of  his  brilliant  capture  of  Vera 
Cruz.  It  »as  evident  that  his  age  and  infirmities 
would  prevent  his  taking  any  active  part  in  the 
Civil  War.  and  on  November  1.  1861,  lie  »,v  re

and  report  upon  tin   whole  art  of  European  war- 
fare,     lb    remained   some   time   with   the    British 
forces.     McClellan's  report  was  a  model  of  com- 
prehensive accuracy  and  conciseness,  ami  showed 
him  to  he  a  master  ol  siege-tactics.     In  1857.  M> 
Clellan    resigned   his   army   commission   to   devote 
himself  to   the   practice  of  engineering.      He  he

this  point  into  a  neck  but  little  more  than  one 
hundred  miles  in  width.  After  this  success,  Mc- 
Clellan  was  placed,  July  25,  18(51,  at  the  head  of 
the  newly  created  District  (afterward  Depart- 
ment) of  the  Potomac,  and  began  the  organization 
and  training  of  the  army  of  that  name.  From 
November  5,  1861  to  March  11th  of  the  following 
year,  lie  was  general-in-chief  of  the  armies  of  the 
United  States,  and  after  the  latter  date  continued 
in  command  of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  until 
November  9,  1862,  when  he  was  replaced  by  Ma- 
jor-General A.  E.  Burnside.  He  took  no  further 
part  in  the  war.  His  removal  was  due  to  dissatis- 
faction with  his  methods  that  gradually  developed 
among  President  Lincoln   and  his   advisers.      The 


failure  of  the  army  to  capture  Richmond  in  the 
Peninsula  campaign,  and  the  non-pursuit  of  Lee 
immediately  after  Antietam  were  the  chief  reasons. 
As  the  nominee  of  the  Democratic  party,  he  was 
defeated  for  the  presidency  in  186-t,  and  his  res- 
ignation from  the  army  was  accepted  on  Novem- 
ber 8th.  He  now  spent  several  years  abroad, 
returning  to  live  in  New  Jersey,  of  which  State 
he  became  governor  in  1877.  Aside  from  his  mili- 
tarv  abilities,  McClellan  was  a  man  of  fine  tastes 
in  literature  and  art,  and  also  took  an  active  in- 
terest in  promoting  the  manufacturing  industries 
of  the  State.  He  wrote  his  autobiography,  and 
several  works  of  a  military  nature.  His  death  oc- 
curred October  29,  1885,  at  Orange. 


Army  at  thr  ffntmnar 


By  the  consolidation'  of  the  Department  of 
Washington  and  the  Department  of  Northeastern 
Virginia,  July  25,  1861,  the  Military  District  of 
the  Potomac  was  constituted  and  placed  under 
command  of  Major-General  George  B.  McClellan. 
On  August  15,  1861,  the  Department,  or  Army  of 
the  Potomac  was  created  from  it,  and  as  such  it 
was  known  thereafter.  Major-General  McClellan 
assumed  command  of  this  army  August  20,  1861. 
As  then  constituted,  it  was  organized  in  fourteen 
brigades  composed  largely  of  the  troops  ( regular 
army  and  volunteer)  of  the  Department  of  North- 
eastern Virginia,  under  Brigadier-General  Irvin 
McDowell,  and  new  organizations.  Most  of  these 
brigades  had  artillery  and  some  of  them  cavalry. 
McClellan  immediately  applied  his  military  knowl- 
edge to  remodeling  the  army,  and  in  October  a 
new  organization  was  announced.  The  division 
was  now  the  unit,  and  there  were  fourteen,  includ- 
ing one  stationed  at  Baltimore.  There  were  also 
one  provisional  brigade,  a  provost-guard,  a  cav- 
alry command,  and  a  cavalry  reserve.  During 
the  winter  of  1861-62,  the  Army  of  the  Potomac 
was  thoroughly  drilled.  A  new  organization  was 
announced  in  March,  1862,  and  this  the  army  re- 
tained, except  while  Burnside  created  the  grand 
division,  until  it  was  discontinued.  June  28,  1865. 
The  corps  were  the  units,  and  their  number  varied 
from  time  to  time.  There  were  also  the  provost- 
guard,  the  guard  for  general  headquarters,  a  full 
artillery,  and  cavalry  reserve.  A  cavalry  division 
was  formed  in  July.  1862,  and  reorganized  as  a 
cavalry  corps  in  February,  1863.  The  successive 
commanders   of   the   Army   of  the  Potomac   were: 


Major-General  George  B.  McClellan  to  Novem- 
ber 9.  1862:  Major-General  A.  E.  Burnside  to 
January  26,  1863:  Major-General  Joseph 
Hooker  to  June  28,  1863,  being  succeeded  by 
Major-General  George  G.  Meade,  who  remained 
at  its  head  until  it  was  discontinued,  June  28, 
1865,  except  for  a  short  interval  in  January, 
1865,  when  Major-General  John  G.  Parke  was 
in  temporary  command. 

Major-General  Ambrose  Everett  Btrnside 
(U.S.M.A.  1817)  was  born  in  Liberty.  Indiana, 
May  23,  1824.  He  served  in  the  artillery  with 
the  rank  of  first  lieutenant,  resigned  his  commis- 
sion, in  1853,  to  take  up  the  manufacture  of  a 
breech-loading  rifle  which  lie  had  invented.  At 
the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War  he  was  an  officer  of 
the  Illinois  Central  Railroad  Company.  For  gal- 
lant service  at  Bull  Run  he  was  made  brigadier- 
general  of  volunteers,  and  in  March,  1862,  major- 
general  of  volunteers.  He  organized  an  expedi- 
tionary corps  in  December.  1861,  and  this  was 
merged  in  the  Department  of  North  Carolina,  of 
which  Burnside  was  the  head  from  January  to 
duly.  1862.  He  captured  Roanoke  Island  and 
occupied  New  Berne.  From  these  troops  and 
others  was  organized.  July  22,  1862,  the  Ninth 
Corps,  with  Burnside  at  its  head.  He  served  under 
McClellan  at  South  Mountain,  and  at  Antietam. 
where  he  commanded  the  left  wing,  and  succeeded 
him  in  the  command  of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac. 
Later,  Major-General  Burnside  was  assigned  to 
command  of  the  Department  of  the  Ohio.  Burn-

The  Department  of  Kentucky,  which  consti- 
tuted the  whole  of  that  State  within  a  hundred 
miles  of  the  Ohio  River,  was  merged  in  the  Depart- 
ment of  the  Cumberland,  comprising  the  States 
of  Kentucky  and  Tennessee,  August  15,  1861.  On 
November  9th,  it  was  renamed  the  Department  of 
the  Ohio,  the  States  of  Ohio,  Michigan,  and  In- 
diana being  added.  The  troops  in  this  region 
(over  whom  McClellan,  Rosecrans,  O.  M.  Mitchel, 
Robert  Anderson,  and  W.  T.  Sherman  had.  at 
different  times  ami  places,  control)  were  now 
organized  into  the  Army  of  the  Ohio,  with  Major- 
General  Don  Carlos  Buell  in  command.     Although 

li- 


the department  was  merged  into  that  of  Missis- 
sippi in  March,  1862,  the  Army  of  the  Ohio  re- 
tained its  name.  This  was  the  body  that  brought 
such  timely  assistance  to  Grant  at  Shiloh  and  drove 
Bragg  out  of  Kentucky.  The  army  was  organized 
into  three  corps  in  September,  1862,  but  the 
following  month  (October  24th)  the  Depart- 
ment of  the  Cumberland  was  recreated  to  consist 
of  eastern  Tennessee,  Alabama,  and  Georgia,  and 
the  Army  of  the  Ohio,  which  had  operated  chiefly 
in  that  region,  now  became  officially  the  Four- 
teenth Army  Corps,  but  better  known  as  the  Army 
of  the  Cumberland.  On  October  30th,  Buell  was

Arnuj  uf  the  QDlriu  mxh  Army  of  the  (£umbrrlauti 


replaced  by  Major-General  W.  S.  Rosecrans,  and 
the  Fourteenth  Corps  was  reorganized  into  the 
Right  Wing,  Center,  and  Left  Wing,  later  the 
Fourteenth,  Twentieth,  and  Twenty-first  Army 
corps.  The  last  two  were  afterward  consolidated 
as  the  Fourth  Corps.  With  this  army,  Rosecrans 
fought  the  battle  of  Stone's  River,  drove  Bragg 
across  the  Tennessee,  and  was  defeated  at  Chicka- 
tnauga.  Major-General  George  H.  Thomas  suc- 
ceeded to  the  command  October  20,  1863.  The 
army  distinguished  itself  on  Missionary  Ridge  and 
through  the  Atlanta  campaign  (as  a  part  of  the 
Military  Division  of  the  .Mississippi),  and  in  the 
campaign  against  Hood  in  Tennessee.  The  army 
had  four  divisions  of  cavalry.  It  had  a  reserve 
corps  for  a  short  time,  and  received  two  corps  from 
the  Army  of  the  Potomac,  which  were  finally  con- 
solidated   into    the    reorganized    Twentieth    Corps. 

Major-General  Don  Carlos  Buell  (U.S. 
M.A.  1841)  was  horn  March  23,  1818,  near 
Marietta,  Ohio,  and  served  in  the  Mexican  War. 
When  the  Civil  War  broke  out  he  assisted  in  the 
organization  of  volunteers,  and  in  November, 
1861,  took  charge  of  the  Department  and  Army 
of  the  Ohio,  lie  was  soon  raised  to  the  rank  of 
major-general  of  volunteers.  His  last  service  in 
this  army  was  the  driving  of  Bragg  out  of  Ken- 
tucky, for  this,  with  the  preceding  Tennessee 
camp;-:gn  during  the  summer  of  1862,  aroused 
such  criticism  that  he  was  replaced,  October  30th, 
by  .Major-General  Rosecrans  and  tried  before  a 
military  commission.  An  adverse  report  was 
handed  in.  and  Buell  resigned  from  the  army 
June  1,  1864*.  He  then  became  president  of  the 
Green  River  Iron  Company,  and,  1885-89,  was 
pension-agent  at  Louisville.  He  died  near  Rock- 
port,  Kentucky.  November  19,  1898. 

Major-General  William  Starke  Rosecrans 
(T'.S.M.A.  1842)  was  born  at  Kingston,  Ohio. 
September  6,  1818.  He  served  in  the  Engineer 
Corps  and  as  assistant  professor  at  West  Point. 
In  1854,  he  resigned  from  the  army  to  practise 
architecture  and  civil  engineering,  but  at  the  out- 
break of  the  Civil  War  he  tendered  his  services  to 
the  Government  and  was  made  brigadier-general 
of  the  regular  army,  and  major-general  of  volun- 
teers in  March,  1862.  He  succeeded  McClellan 
at  the  head  of  the  army  of  occupation  in  western 
Virginia  after  Lis  victory  at  Rich  Mountain,  and 
held  it  until  Major-General  Fremont  took  charge 
of  the  Mountain  Department,  .March  29,  1862. 
From  June  26th  until  the  end  of  October,  Rose- 

[i- 


crans  was  Pope's  successor  in  the  Army  of  the 
Mississippi  and,  taking  command  of  the  District 
of  Corinth,  he  defeated  the  Confederate  forces  at 
Iuka  and  Corinth.  He  now  replaced  Buell  in  the 
Army  of  the  Cumberland.  As  general  command- 
ing he  won  the  battle  of  Stone's  River,  but  was 
defeated  at  ( 'liickamauga,  and  was  succeeded  by 
Major-General  George  H.  Thomas.  He  then 
spent  a  year  in  command  of  the  Department  of 
Missouri,  during  which  he  drove  Price  out  of  the 
State,  and  on  December  9,  1864,  was  relieved  of 
active  command.  After  resigning  his  commission, 
in  1866,  he  was  United  States  minister  to  Mexico, 
and  was  in  Congress  from  1881  to  1885.  In  1889. 
Congress  restored  him  to  the  rank  and  pay  of 
brigadier-general.  He  died  at  Redondo,  Cali- 
fornia. March   11,  1898. 

Ma.jor-Gkxf.ral  George  Hexry  Thomas  (U. 
S.M.A.  1840)  was  born  in  Southampton  County, 
Virginia,  July  31,1816.  He  served  in  the  Seminole 
and  Mexican  wars,  and  had  risen  to  the  grade  of 
lieutenant-colonel  when  the  Civil  War  broke  out. 
In  August,  1861,  he  was  made  brigadier-general 
of  volunteers.  His  first  services  in  the  war  were 
rendered  in  the  Departments  of  Pennsylvania  and 
of  the  Shenandoah.  His  division  of  the  Army  of 
the  Ohio  defeated  the  Confederate  forces  at  Mill 
Springs,  Kentucky,  January  19,  1862.  This  vic- 
tory first  brought  him  into  notice,  and  shortly 
afterward  he  was  made  major-general  of  volun- 
teers. He  was  put  at  the  head  of  the  Center 
(Fourteenth  Corps)  of  the  reorganized  Army  of 
the  Cumberland,  and  in  October.  1863.  he  assumed 
the  chief  command,  distinguishing  himself  at  Mis- 
sionary Ridge,  in  the  Atlanta  campaign,  and  in 
the  crushing  defeat  of  Bragg  at  Nashville.  He 
was  promoted  to  major-general  in  the  regular 
army  for  his  services  at  Nashville,  December  15. 
1864.  He  narrowly  escaped  this  honor,  for,  impa- 
tient at  his  delay  in  attacking  Hood — a  delay  oc- 
casioned by  the  very  inclement  weather — Grant 
had  sent  Major-General  Logan  to  relieve  him,  and 
the  latter  was  on  the  way.  He  had  also  shown 
himself  a  gallant  fighter  in  the  earlier  battles  of 
Stone's  River,  and  Chiekamauga.  where  he  held  the 
left  wing  of  the  army  against  tremendous  odds. 
This  feat  is  considered  one  of  the  most  glorious  of 
the  whole  war.  Witli  the  right  wing  of  the  army 
routed  and  in  utter  confusion,  Thomas  kept  his 
position  against  the  whole  of  Bragg's  army  until 
ordered  to  withdraw.  He  declined  the  brevet  of 
lieutenant-general,  which  President  Johnson  of- 
fered him  in  1868.  Two  years  later  he  died  in 
San  Francisco,  March  28,  1870.

The  Department  of  the  Ohio  having  been 
merged  in  that  of  .Mississippi,  March,  1862,  it.

consin, and  Kentucky,  east  of  the  Tennessee 
River,  and  Major-Genera]  H.  G.  Wright  was 
placed  at  the  head.  The  troops  of  the  depart- 
ment were  scattered  through  many  districts.  Some 
of  the  brigades  constituted  the  Army  of  Kentucky, 
of  which  Maj or-General  Gordon  Granger  was  in 
command.  "Wright  was  replaced  March  25,  1863, 
by  Major-General  A.  E.  Burnside,  and  shortly 
afterward  the  troops  in  the  department  were  re- 
organized into  the  Twenty-third  Army  Corps, 
and  this  force  is  the  Army  of  the  Ohio  associated 
with  the  Knoxville,  Atlanta,  and  Nashville  cam- 
paigns. The  Ninth  Corps  was  attached  to  the  de-

Stoneman.  A  cavalry  division  organized  in  April, 
1864,  was  headed  by  Major-General  Stoneman, 
and  afterward  by  Colonels  Capron  and  Garrard. 
On  January  IT,  1865,  the  troops  still  in  the  de- 
partment   (the   Twenty-third   Corps   having  gone 


to  North  Carolina)  were  annexed  to  the  Depart- 
ment of  the  Cumberland. 

Major-General     John     McAllister     Scho- 
field (U.S.M.A.  1853)  was  born  in  Chautauqua 

County,  New  York,  September  29,  1831.  After 
garrison  duty  in  Florida  and  South  Carolina,  he 
held  the  chair  of  natural  philosophy  at  West 
Point  and  later  at  Washington  University,  St. 
Louis,  where  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War  found 
him.  He  had  command  of  the  District  of  St.  Louis, 
Department  of  Missouri;  Army  of  the  Frontier; 
of  a  division  in  the  Fourteenth  Corps ;  the  De- 
partment and  Army  of  the  Ohio,  and  of  the  Twen- 
ty-third Corps,  which  was  transferred  to  North 
Carolina  late  in  the  war.  He  was  made  major- 
general  of  volunteers  in  November,  1862.  His 
most  noteworthy  active  services  were  rendered 
during  the  Atlanta  campaign  and  at  the  battle 
of  Franklin.  After  the  Civil  War  he  was  Sec- 
retary of  War  ad  interim,  after  the  resignation  of 
General  Grant.  He  was  commander  of  the  United 
States  army  from  1888  to  1895,  rising  to  the  rank 
of  lieutenant-general,  at  which  he  was  retired  in 
September,  1895.  He  died  at  St.  Augustine,  Flor- 
ida, March  4,  1906. 


Armg  uf  to  iEisstsstj^n 


The  Army  of  the  Mississippi  had  a  short  ex- 
istence, being  organized  February  23d,  and  dis- 
continued October  26,  1862.  Its  first  commander 
was  Major-General  John  Pope,  who  was  suc- 
ceeded, June  26th,  by  Major-General  W.  S.  Rose- 
crans.      This   army   consisted   of   five  divisions,   a 


flotilla  brigade,  and  several  brigades  of  cavalry, 
and  operated  on  the  Mississippi  in  the  spring  of 
1862,  capturing  Island  No.  10;  before  Corinth 
in  May,  1862,  and  at  Iuka  and  Corinth  in  Sep- 
tember and  October,  1862.  Most  of  the  troops 
went   into  the  Thirteenth  Army  Corps. 


Armij  of  T^trrjutia 


To  obtain  closer  organization  in  the  various 
commands  operating  in  Virginia,  President  Lin- 
coln, on  June  26,  1862,  constituted  the  Army  of 
Virginia  out  of  Major-General  Fremont's  forces 
(Mountain  Department),  those  of  Major-Gen- 
eral  McDowell  (Department  of  the  Rappahan- 
nock), those  of  Major-General  Banks  (Depart- 
ment of  the  Shenandoah),  and  Brigadier-General 
Sturgis'    brigade    from    the    Military    District    of 


Washington.  This  last,  an  unorganized  body  of 
troops,  did  not  join  the  army  at  once.  Major- 
General  John  Pope  was  placed  at  the  head  of  the 
new  organization,  which  was  divided  into  three 
corps.  Exclusive  of  Sturgis'  troops  it  numbered 
between  forty  and  fifty  thousand  men,  and  was 
augmented  later  by  troops  from  three  corps  of 
the  Army  of  the  Potomac.  A  corps  of  the  Army  of 
Virginia  checked  "  Stonewall  "  Jackson's  advance

181, '5.  lie  became  professor  of  mathematics  in 
the    United   States   navy,   and    was   commissioned 

second  lieutenant  in  the  Corps  of  Topographical 
Engineers,  in  1838.  He  conducted  several  ex- 
ploring expeditions  to  the  Far  West,  during  one 

of  which  he  fomented  a  revolt  against  Mexican 
rule    in    California   and    raised   the   Bear   Flag   in 


thai 


Later,   he  assisted   in   the   Mexican 


War  and  was  made  civil  governor  of  California 
by  Commodore  Stockton.  Trouble  arose  between 
him  and  General  Kearny,  who  had  been  charged 
with  the  establishment  of  the  Government,  which 
resulted  in  a  court  martial  and  Fremont's  resigna- 
tion from  the  army.  He  settled  in  California, 
represented  that  State  in  the  Senate,  and  was  the 


unsuccessful  Republican  candidate  for  President, 
in  1856.  At  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War,  he 
was  appointed  major-general,  and  on  July  25, 
1861,  put  at  the  head  of  the  Western  Department, 
with  headquarters  at  St.  Louis,  where  he  made  an 
attempt  to  free  the  slaves  of  Southern  sympathiz- 
ers. This  act  led  to  his  removal  in  November,  and 
the  following  .March  he  was  given  command  of  the 
newly  created  Mountain  Department.  He  refused 
to  serve  as  corps  commander  under  Major-Gen- 
eral Pope  when  his  troops  were  merged  in  the 
Army  of  Virginia.  He  resigned  from  the  army 
in  June,  1864.  He  became  interested  in  railroad 
building  and  was  governor  of  Arizona  (1878- 
1882).  In  1890,  he  was  reappointed  major-gen- 
eral and  was  retired  with  that  rank  on  April  28th.

The  First  Army  Corps  was  originally  planned 
to  consist  of  the  troops  of  the  Mountain  Depart- 
ment, earlier  known  as  the  Department  of  West- 
ern Virginia,  under  command  of  Brigadier-Gen- 
eral W.  S.  Rosecrans,  but  by  order  of  the  Presi- 
dent, the  First  Corps,  from  troops  of  the  Army  of 
the  Potomac,  was  placed  under  command  of  Major- 
General  Irvin  McDowell,  March  13,  1862.  '  On 
April  4th,  the  First  Corps  was  discontinued  and  the 
troops  sent  to  the  Department  of  the  Rappahan- 
nock, and  then  in  turn  merged  in  the  Army  of 
Virginia,  as  the  Third  Corps,  on  June  26,  1862. 
The  First  Corps,  Army  of  the  Potomac,  was  re- 
created September  12,  1862,  from  the  troops  of 
the  Third  Corps,  Army  of  Virginia,  coming 
successively  under  command  of  Maj or-General 
Joseph  Hooker,  Brigadier-General  George  G. 
Meade,  Brigadier-General  J.  S.  Wadsworth,  Ma- 
jor-Generals J.  F.  Reynolds,  Aimer  Doubleday, 
and  John  Newton.  This  corps  rendered  gallant 
service  at  South  Mountain,  Antietam,  Fredericks- 
burg, Chancellorsville,  and  Gettysburg,  among 
the  more  important  engagements.  It  was  discon- 
tinued March  24,  1864-,  when  it  became  merged 
in  the  Fifth  Corps,  Army  of  the  Potomac. 

Major-General  Irvin  McDowell  (U.S.M.A.

Mexican  War.  As  brigadier-general  at  the  head 
of  the   Department  of  Northeastern   Virginia,  he 


had  command  of  the  Union  army  at  First  Bull 
Run.  Afterward,  with  a  commission  of  major- 
general  of  volunteers,  he  had  a  division  in  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac.  In  further  reorganiza- 
tions and  changes  he  headed  his  troops  as  com- 
mander of  the  First  Corps,  Army  of  the  Potomac; 
Department  of  the  Rappahannock,  and  Third 
Corps,  Army  of  Virginia.  His  conspicuous  serv- 
ices at  Cedar  Mountain  Avon  him  the  brevet  of 
major-general,  which  full  rank  he  attained  in 
1872.  Immediately  after  Second  Bull  Run  he 
was  relieved  from  field  service,  and  was  president 
of  several  army  boards.  In  July,  1 864,  he  was 
placed  at  the  head  of  the  Department  of  the 
Pacific,  and  after  the  war  held  various  commands. 
He  was  retired  in  1882,  and  died  in  San  Francisco, 
May  4,   1885.

Seminole  wars.  As  captain  of  the  artillery  he 
was  at  Fort  Sumter  under  Major  Anderson,  and 
fired  upon  the  Confederates  the  first  Federal  gun

placed  in  charge  of  the  defenses  of  Washington. 
He  had  a  brigade  in  the  Third  Corps,  Army  of

1862,  he  became  major-general  of  volunteers. 
He  fought  at  Fredericksburg  and  Chancellors- 
ville.  When  Reynolds  was  killed  on  the  field  of 
Gettysburg,  the  command  of  the  First  Corps 
fell  upon  him  for  the  day,  July  1,  1863,  until  he 
was  succeeded  by  Major-General  John  Newton. 
After  being  mustered  out  of  the  volunteer  service, 
he  served  as  colonel  in  the  regular  army  until  he 
was  retired  in  1873.  He  had  been  brevetted  brig-

Major-Generat,  John  Newton  (U.S.M.A. 
1842)  was  born  in  Norfolk,  Virginia,  August  24, 
1823.  After  graduation  he  taught  engineering  at 
West  Point  for  three  years,  and  then  devoted  him- 
self to  the  construction  of  fortifications.  The 
outbreak  of  the  Civil  War  found  him  chief  engi- 
neer of  the  Department  of  Pennsylvania,  and  he 
assisted  in  preparing  the  defenses  of  the  national 
capital.  The  rank  of  brigadier-general  of  volun- 
teers was  given  him  in  September,  1861,  and  he 
remained  with  the  organization  which  was  eventu- 
ally the  First  Corps,  Army  of  the  Potomac,  as 
brigade  and  division  commander,  being  made  ma- 
jor-general of  volunteers  in  March,  1863.  He  suc- 
ceeded to  the  command  of  the  corps  after  Reyn- 
olds' death  at  Gettysburg,  July  1,  1863,  and  led  it 
until  it  was  discontinued,  March  24,  1864.  His  ap- 
pointment as  major-general  of  volunteers  expired 
in  April,  1864,  and  with  his  former  title  he  suc- 
ceeded Sheridan  in  a  division  of  the  Fourth  Corps, 


Army  of  the  Cumberland.  After  the  war,  he  con- 
tinued in  the  regular  army  and  reached  the  grade 
of  brigadier-general  in  1884,  being  retired  in 
1886.  His  most  renowned  achievement  was  the 
removal  of  the  reefs  at  Hell  Gate  in  the  harbor  of 
New  York.  General  Newton  was  commissioner 
of  public  works.  New  York  city,  from  1887  to

Major-General  John  Fulton  Reynolds  (U. 
S.M.A.  1841)  was  born  in  Lancaster,  Pennsyl- 
vania, September  20,  1820,  and  served  in  the 
Mexican  War,  and  in  the  Rogue  River  Indian 
and  Utah  expeditions.  At  the  outbreak  of  the 
Civil  War,  he  was  commandant  at  West  Point, 
but  with  the  rank  of  brigadier-general  of  vo'un- 
teers  took  active  part  in  the  operations  of  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac  from  August,  1861.  He 
commanded  a  brigade  of  the  Pennsylvania  Re- 
serves which  was  merged  in  the  First  Corps,  Army 
of  the  Potomac.  He  went  with  McDowell  to  the 
Department  of  the  Rappahannock  but  returned 
to  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  at  the  head  of  a 
brigade  in  the  Fifth  Corps,  for  the  move  to  the 
James.  He  was  taken  prisoner  at  Glendale  but 
was  exchanged.  The  brigade  joined  the  Third 
Corps,  Army  of  Virginia,  in  which  Reynolds  com- 
manded a  division.  Again  with  the  Army  of  the 
Potomac,  Reynolds  was  given  the  First  Corps  on 
September  29,  1862,  and  later  was  made  major- 
general  of  volunteers.  On  the  first  day  of  Gettys- 
burg, July  1,  1863,  he  was  killed  by  a  Confederate 
sharpshooter.  Reynolds'  loss  was  most  keenly 
felt  in  the  Federal  army. 


£>frmt&  Army  (EnrpH 


Created  by  the  general  order  of  March  3, 
1862,  chiefly  from  Sumner's  and  Blenker's  divi- 
sions of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  as  constituted 
in  October,  1861.  Major-General  Sunnier  was 
its  first  commander,  and  his  successors  were  Ma-

fered most  severely  at  Antietam.     It  was  discon- 


tinued June  28,  1865.  The  Second  Corps  made  a 
notable  record  for  itself.  One  interesting  fact  is 
that  until  the  battle  of  Spotsylvania,  on  May  10, 
1864,  it  never  lost  a  gun  or  a  color. 

Major-General  Edwin  Vose  Sumner  was

made  brigadier-general  of  volunteers  in  Septem- 
ber, 1861,  and  had  a  brigade  in  the  Fourth  Army 
Corps  at  Williamsburg,  where  McClellan  called 
him  "  Hancock  the  Superb."  At  Antietam,  he 
distinguished  himself,  and  succeeded  Richardson 
at  the  head  of  a  division  of  the  Second  Corps.  In 
November,  1862,  he  was  made  major-general  of 
volunteers.  His  troops  did  noteworthy  work  at 
Fredericksburg  and  Chancellorsville,  and  Hancock 
received  the  Second  Corps,  in  May,  1863.  At  Get- 
tysburg, Meade  sent  him  to  take  charge  on  the 
first  day,  after  Reynolds'  death,  and  on  the  third

1866,  and  commanded  various  departments.  He 
was  an  unsuccessful  candidate  for  the  presidency 
against  Garfield.  Of  Hancock,  General  Grant 
once  said:  "  Hancock  stands  the  most  conspicuous 
figure  of  all  the  general  officers  who  did  not  ex- 
ercise a  separate  command.  He  commanded  a 
corps  longer  than  any  other  one,  and  his  name 
was  never  mentioned  as  having  committed  in 
battle  a  blunder  for  which  he  was  responsible." 
He  died  on  Governor's  Island,  New  York,  Feb- 
ruary 9,  1886.

expired,  he  returned  to  the  field  as  lieutenant- 
colonel  of  the  Sixty-first  New  York.  His  rise  was 
rapid,  due  to  ability  displayed  in  the  Army  of 
the  Potomac,  and  he  was  made  brigadier-general

tember, 1862),  where  he  was  badly  wounded.  He

Army  of  Virginia.  At  Second  Bull  Run,  his  ac- 
tion on  an  order  from  Major-General  Pope  led

of  struggle,  in  1886  he  succeeded  in  being  restored 
to  the  army  with  the  rank  of  colonel,  and  shortly

Bixth  Army  (Tnrps 


The  creatiox  of  this  corps  was  similar  to  that

and  it  was  partially  engaged  at  Second  Bull  Run, 
South   Mountain,   Antietam,   and   Fredericksburg. 


In  the  last  battle  it  was  in  the  Left  Grand  Di- 
vision. The  corps  carried  Marye's  Heights  in  the 
Chancellorsville  campaign,  but.  excepting  one  bri- 
gade, it  was  held  in  reserve  at  Gettysburg.  Several

the  opening  of  the  Wilderness  campaign,  it  fought 
with  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  as  far  as  Peters- 
burg, when  it  was  smt  to  the  defense  of  Washing- 
ton. Afterward  it  joined  the  Army  of  the  Shen- 
andoah and  was  prominent  at  the  Opequon, 
Fisher's  Hill,  and  Cedar  Creek.  In  December, 
1864.  the  corps  returned  to  Petersburg  and  con- 
tinued with  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  until  it  was

Major-General  William  Buel  Franklin 
(U.S.M.A.  1843)  was  born  in  York,  Pennsyl- 
vania, February  J2T,  1823,  and  served  in  the  Mex- 
ican War.  He  was  also  an  engineer,  and  taught  at 
West  Point.  At  the  opening  of  the  Civil  War,  as 
colonel,  he  had  a  brigade  at  Hull  Pun,  and  subse- 
quently a  division  in  the  First  Corps,  Army  of 
the  Potomac,  which  formed  the  nucleus  of  the 
Sixth  when  it  was  ordered  to  McClellan  on  the 
Peninsula,  after  having  gone  with  McDowell  to  the 
Department  of  the  Rappahannock.  Franklin  rose 
to  be  major-general  of  volunteers,  his  commission 
being  dated  July  4,  1862.  In  Burnside's  reorgani- 
zation of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac,  he  commanded 
the  Left  Grand  Division  at  Fredericksburg.  His 
conduct  in  this  battle  was  unsatisfactory  to  Burn- 
side,  and  Franklin  was  relieved  from  duty  in  the 
service.  In  August,  1863,  he  was  put  in  command 
of  the  Nineteenth  Army  Corps,  serving  until  May, 
1864,  and  was  wounded  at  Sabine  Cross  Roads  on 
the  Red  River  expedition.  From  December,  1864, 
to  November,  1865,  he  was  at  the  head  of  a  board 
for  retiring  disabled  officers.  On  the  latter  date  he 
resigned  from  the  volunteer  service,  and  gave  up 
the  regular  army,  in  which  he  had  been  brevetted 
major-general  on  March  15,  1866.  He  then  be- 
came vice-president  of  the  Colt  Firearms  Company, 
and  was  American  commissioner-general  to  the 
Paris  Exposition  of  1889.  He  died  in  Hartford, 
Connecticut,  March  8,  1903. 

Major-General  John  Sedgwick  (U.S.M.A. 
1837)  was  born  in  Cornwall,  Connecticut,  Sep- 
tember 13,  1813.  He  served  with  great  distinction 
in  the  Mexican  and  Seminole  wars.  At  the  out- 
break of  the  Civil  War,  he  was  lieutenant-colonel 
in  the  cavalry,  and  he  rose  to  major-general  of  vol- 


unteers by  July,  1862.  After  having  a  brigade  in 
the  Army  of  the  Potomac,  he  was  given  a  division 
of  the  Second  Corps,  and  it  met  with  frightful  loss 
at  Antietam,  where  Sedgwick  was  twice  wounded. 
After  recovery  he  took  command  of  the  Second  and 
Ninth  corps  for  short  periods,  and  in  February, 
1863,  he  became  head  of  the  Sixth  Army  Corps, 
with  which  his  name  is  so  nobly  associated.  His 
brave  attack  upon  the  heights  of  Fredericksburg 
in  May,  1863,  won  him  renown.  At  Gettysburg, 
which  he  reached  by  a  forced  inarch  on  the  second 
day,  the  left  wing  of  the  army  was  under  his  com- 
mand. He  was  killed  by  a  Confederate  sharpshoot- 
er near  Spotsylvania  Court  House,  May  9,  1864. 

Major-General  Horatio  Gotverneur 
Wright  (U.S.M.A.  1841)  was  born  in  Clinton, 
Connecticut,  March  6,  1820.  At  the  beginning  of 
the  Civil  War  he  had  the  rank  of  captain,  having 
been  in  the  Engineers  Corps  since  his  graduation. 
He  was  chief  engineer  of  the  expedition  that  de- 
stroyed the  Norfolk  Navy- Yard  and  occupied  the 
same  position  in  the  Port  Royal  expedition.  He 
was  division  commander  in  the  Department  of  the 
South,  and  was  then  placed  at  the  head  of  the  re- 
created Department  of  the  Ohio  in  August,  1862. 
Later,  he  was  division  and  corps  commander  of  the 
Sixth  Army  Corps.  Being  sent  by  Grant  to  de- 
fend Washington,  he  took  part  in  the  Shenandoah 
campaign  and  rejoined  the  Army  of  the  Potomac 
before  Petersburg.  He  led  the  assault  on  April  2, 
1865,  which  ended  the  siege.  He  was  promoted  to 
major-general  of  volunteers  in  May.  1864.  He 
served  on  several  important  commissions  after  the 
war,  being  made  brigadier-general  in  1879,  and  was

When  the  Army  of  Virginia  was  discontinued, 
September  12,  1862,  its  First  Corps,  which  had 
been  the  troops  of  the  Mountain  Department 
under  Rosecrans  and  Fremont,  and  had  been  led 
by  Sigel  in  the  Pope  campaign,  was  merged  in  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac  as  the  Eleventh  Corps.  It 
remained  on  the  line  of  Manassas  during  the  Antie- 
tam  campaign,  did  not  reach  Fredericksburg  in 
time  for  the  battle,  and  at  Chancellorsville  was 
badly  routed  by  "Stonewall"  Jackson,  because  its 
commander  allowed  himself  to  be  surprised.  In 
this  battle  about  twelve  thousand  troops  were  pres- 
ent.    It  was  one  of  the  two  corps  heavily  engaged 


21 


on  the  first  day  at  Gettysburg.  After  that  battle. 
one  division  was  sent  to  Charleston  Harbor,  and 
the  other  two  went  with  Hooker  to  Tennessee  to  as- 
sist Grant  in  the  Chattanooga  campaign.  These 
two  divisions  then  went  with  Sherman  to  the  relief 
of  Knoxville.  and  shared  all  the  great  hardships 
of  the  march.  In  April.  1S64,  these  troops  were 
merged  in  the  new  Twentieth  Army  Corps,  for  the 
Atlanta  campaign.  The  leaders  of  the  Eleventh

Corps,  Army  of  Virginia,  the  troops  of  which,  under 
Major-General  N.  P.  Banks,  had  been  in  the  De- 
partment of  the  Shenandoah,  and  in  earlier  organ- 
izations of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac.  It  was  the 
smallest  corps  in  the  army,  and  in  the  early  days 
contained  about  twelve  thousand  men.  The  com- 
mand was  given  to  Major-General  J.  F.  K.  Mans- 
field, who  was  killed  at  Antietam,  the  first  battle 
of  the  new  corps.  Its  next  battle  was  that  of

nessee where  one  division  opened  the  line  of  sup- 
plies to  the  starving  Army  of  the  Cumberland  and

Mountain.  In  April,  1864,  the  Twelfth  Corps  was 
merged  in  the  newly  formed  Twentieth,  for  the  At-

riods, when  it  was  headed  by  Brigadier-General  A. 
S.  Williams,  the  senior  division  commander.  In  its 
short  career,  the  corps  is  said  to  have  never  lost  a 
aim   or  a  color.

THE  permanent  Constitution  of  the  Confeder- 
ate States  of  America  provided  that  the  Pres- 
ident should  be  commander-in-chief  of  the  army 
and  navy,  and  of  the  militia  of  the  several  States 
when  called  into  actual  service.  Accordingly,  in 
any  consideration  of  the  Confederate  army,  the 
part  played  by  President  Davis  must  be  borne  in 
mind;  also  the  fact  that  he  previously  had  seen 
service  in  the  United  States  army  and  that  he  had 
been  Secretary  of  War  of  the  United  States.  As 
Secretaries  of  War  in  the  Confederate  States  Gov- 
ernment there  were  associated  with  President 
Davis,  the  following:  LeRoy  Pope  Walker,  of  Ala- 
bama, February  21,  1861,  to  September  17,  1861  ; 
Judah  P.  Benjamin,  of  Louisiana,  September  17, 
1861,  to  March  17,  1862 ;  George  W.  Ran- 
dolph, of  Virginia,  March  17,  1862,  to  November 
17,  1862:  Major-General  Gustavus  W.  Smith,  of 
Kentucky,  November  17,  1862,  to  November  21, 
1862:  dames  A.  Seddon,  of  Virginia,  from  No- 
vember 21.  1862,  to  February  6,  1865:  and  Major- 
General  John  C.  Breckinridge,  of  Kentucky,  Feb- 
ruary 6,  1865,  to  the  close  of  the  war. 

Unlike  the  Union  army  there  were  generals,  both 


regular  and  of  the  provisional  army,  as  well  as 
lieutenant-generals;  it  being  the  intention  that 
every  commander  of  an  army  should  rank  as  gen- 
eral, and  every  commander  of  a  corps  should  rank 
as  lieutenant-general.  Such  was  the  case  with 
the  generals  mentioned  in  the  biographical  matter 
following  in  connect  ion  with  the  various  armies 
and  other  organizations.  An  exception  to  this 
statement  was  General  Samuel  Cooper,  who  served 
at  Richmond  as  adjutant  and  inspector-general. 


General  Samuel  Cooper  (U.S.M.A.  1815) 
was  born  in  Hackensack,  New  Jersey,  June  12, 
1798,  and  served  in  the  army,  receiving  the  brevet 
of  colonel  for  his  services  in  the  Mexican  War. 
He  resigned  in  March,  1861,  to  enter  the  service  of 
the  Confederacy.  He  was  appointed  general  on 
May  16th,  but,  owing  to  his  age,  took  no  active 
part  in  the  field.  He  was  adjutant  and  inspector- 
general  of  the  Confederate  States  army  through- 
out the  entire  war,  performing  his  duties  with 
great  thoroughness  and  ability.  He  died  at  Came- 
ron, Virginia,  December  3,  1876. 


Annif  of  tltr  ^hrumtiiflalt 


Major-General  Kenton  Harper,  of  the  Vir- 
ginia State  forces,  had  collected  about  two  thou- 
sand Virginia  volunteers  at  Harper's  Ferry  as 
early  as  April  21,  1861.  He  was  relieved  on 
I  he  28th  by  Colonel  Thomas  J.  Jackson,  and 
the  mustering  in  of  volunteers  went  rapidly  on. 
On  May  24th,  Brigadier-General  Joseph  E.  John- 
ston assumed  command  of  the  troops,  and  on 
June  80th,  there  were  10,651  present  for  duty, 
in  four  brigades  and  cavalry.  This  was  the  force 
that  opposed  Major-General  Patterson  in  the  Val- 
ley,  and  it  was  known  as  the  Army  of  the  Shenan- 
doah. It  took  part  in  the  engagement  at  Falling 
Waters,  July  2d,  and  the  skirmishes  near  Bunker 
Mill  and  Cbarlestown.  Strengthened  with  eight 
Southern  regiments,  this  army  started  for  Manas- 
sas, on  July  18th,  and  took  part  in  the  first  battle 
of  Bull  Run.  After  this,  it  formed  a  part  of  the 
Confederate  Army  of  the  Potomac. 

General  Joseph  Egglestox  Johnston  (U.S. 
M.A.  1829)  was  born  in  Cherry  Grove,  near  Farm- 
ville,  Virginia,  February  3,  1807.  He  served  in  the 


Black  Hawk,  Seminole,  and  Mexican  wars,  in  the 
last  of  which  he  was  twice  severely  wounded.  He 
resigned  his  rank  of  brigadier-general  to  enter  the 
Confederate  service  on  April  20,  1861.  and  was 
given  the  rank  of  general  in  August.  He  was  in 
command  at  Harper's  Ferry  after  May  21th,  and 
headed  the  Army  of  the  Shenandoah.  He  brought 
his  troops  to  Manassas  and  superseded  Beaure- 
gard in  the  command,  at  Bull  Run,  joining  his 
force  to  the  Army  of  the  Potomac.  In  command 
of  the  Army  of  Northern  Virginia,  he  was  severely 
wounded  at  Fair  Oaks.  In  November,  1862,  he  was 
assigned  to  the  bead  of  the  Department  of  Ten- 
nessee, but  outside  of  an  attempt  to  relieve  Pem- 
berton  at  Vicksburg  in  May,  1863,  he  saw  no  active 
service  until  he  assumed  command  of  the  Army  of 
Tennessee  in  December,  186B.  He  opposed  Sher- 
man during  the  Atlanta  campaign  of  1861,  being 
superseded  by  General  Hood  on  July  18th.  His 
strategy  was  much  criticised  at  the  time,  but  it  is 
now  recognized  that  he  displayed  great  ability 
during  the  campaign.  In  February,  1865,  he  was 
again  given  command  of  the  Army  of  Tennessee,

Armij  of  ilii*  fJnmtsuia 


The  Department  of  the  Peninsula  was  es- 
tablished on  May  26,  1861,  and  Colonel  John  B. 
Magruder  was  put  in  command.  The  troops  there- 
in were  organized  into  divisions  in  November,  and 
denominated  the  Army  of  the  Peninsula.  In  De- 
cember, the  aggregate  present  was  about  sixteen 
thousand.  On  April  12,  1862.  it  was  merged  in 
the  Army  of  Northern  Virginia — constituting, 
under  Major-General  Magruder,  the  right  wing 
of  that  army. 

Major-Gexerai.  John  Baxkhead  Magruder 
(U.S.M.A.  1830)  was  born  at  Winchester,  Vir- 
ginia. August  15,  1810,  and  served  in  the  Seminole 
and  Mexican  wars.  He  was  stationed  in  Washing- 
ton in  1861,  and  resigned  in  April  to  enter  the 
Confederate  service  as  colonel.  He  had  charge  of 
the  artillery  in  and  around  Richmond,  and  after 
May  21st,  a  division  in  the  Department  of  the 
Peninsula,  the  troops   of  which  were   later  desig- 


nated the  Army  of  the  Peninsula.  On  June  10th, 
his  division  repelled  the  attack  of  Major-General 
B.  F.  Butler  at  Big  Bethel,  for  which  feat  he  was 
made  brigadier-general.  In  October,  he  was  pro- 
moted to  major-general.  Having  fortified  the  Pen- 
insula, he  kept  McClellan's  army  in  check  in  April, 
1862.  On  April  18th,  his  forces  became  the  Right 
Wing  of  the  Army  of  Northern  Virginia,  and  he 
commanded  it  during  the  Peninsula  campaign. 
Magruder  was  then  appointed  to  the  Trans-Mis- 
sissippi Department,  in  order  to  prosecute  the  war 
more  vigorously  in  the  West,  but  the  assignment 
was  changed,  and  in  October,  1862,  he  was  given 
the  District  of  Texas,  which  was  afterward  en- 
larged to  include  New  Mexico  and  Arizona.  Ma- 
gruder recaptured  Galveston,  January  1, 1863,  and 
kept  the  port  open.  After  the  war  he  served  in 
the  army  of  Maximilian,  and  after  the  fall  of  the 
Mexican  empire  settled  in  Houston,  Texas,  where 
he  died.  February  19,  1871. 


Armu,  of  thr  Northwest 


The  troops  assigned  to  operate  in  northwest- 
ern Virginia  were  placed  under  the  command  of 
Brigadier-General  R.  S.  Garnett  on  June  8,  1861. 
and  were  subsequently  known  as  the  Army  of  the 
Northwest.  This  was  the  force  that  opposed  Mc- 
Clellan  and  Rosecrans  in  West  Virginia,  and  was 
defeated  at  Rich  Mountain  and  other  places.  On 
July  13th,  Garnett  was  killed  while  retreating,  and 
Brigadier-General  Henry  R.  Jackson  was  put  in 
command,  to  be  superseded,  within  a  week,  by  Brig- 
adier-General W.  W.  Loring.  Early  in  1862,  dis- 
sension arose  between  Loring  and  T.  J.  Jackson, 
commanding  the  Valley  District  (Department  of 
Northern  Virginia),  which  led  to  the  latter  pre- 
ferring charges  against  the  commander  of  the 
Army  of  the  Northwest.  As  a  result,  the  Secretary 
of  War,  on  February  9,  1862,  divided  the  army, 
sending  some  of  the  regiments  to  Knoxville,  some  to 
the  Aquia  District,  and  the  remainder  to  the  Army 
of  the  Potomac  (Department  of  Northern  Virginia). 
After  this,  the  forces  under  Brigadier-General  Ed- 
ward Johnson  stationed  at  Camp  Alleghany,  and 
sometimes  called  the  Army  of  the  Alleghany,  con- 

[242] 


tinued  to  be  called  the  Army  of  the  Northwest.  Its 
aggregate  strength  in  March.  1862,  was  about  four 
thousand.  It  finally  came  under  Jackson  in  the 
Valley  District  and  passed  into  the  Army  of 
Northern  Virginia. 

Brigadiek-Gexeral  Robert  Seldex  Garxett 
(U.S.M.A.  18-11)  was  born  in  Essex  County,  Vir- 
ginia, December  16,  1819,  and  served  in  the  Mex- 
ican War  as  aide  to  General  Taylor.  At  the  out- 
break of  the  Civil  War  he  entered  the  Confederate 
service,  and  in  June,  1861,  was  appointed  briga- 
dier-general, with  command  of  the  Army  of  the 
Northwest.  In  the  action  at  Carrick's  Ford  he  was 
killed,  June  13.  1861. 

Brigadier-General  Hexry  Rootes  Jacksox 
was  born  in  Athens,  Georgia,  June  24.  1820,  and 
became  a  lawyer.  He  served  in  the  Mexican  War 
as  colonel  of  the  First  Georgia  Volunteers,  and  was 
charge  d'affaires  at  Vienna,  in  1863.  As  United 
States  district  attorney  for  Georgia  he  aided  in 
trying  slave-trading  cases.     At  the  outbreak  of  the

Civil  War  he  entered  the  Con  federate  Army  as  a 
brigadier-general,  succeeding  to  temporary  com- 
mand of  the  Army  of  the  Northwest  after  Brigadier- 
General  Garnett  was  killed.  He  resigned  his  com- 
mission because  lie  could  not  obtain  leave  of  ab- 
sence to  take  charge  of  the  Georgia  coast  defenses, 
to  which  post  he  was  called  by  the  Governor  of 
Georgia,  who  made  him  a  major-general  in  com- 
mand of  the  State  troops.  After  these  became  part 
of  the  Confederate  army,  in  1862,  Jackson  received 
no  commission  until  July,  !Hfj4,  when  he  was  as- 
signed a  brigade  in  the  Army  of  Tennessee.  Dur- 
ing the  battle  of  Nashville  he  was  made  prisoner 
and  not  released  until  the  close  of  the  war,  when 
he  returned  to  Savannah  to  practise  law.  He  was 
United  States  minister  to  Mexico  in  1885,  and  died 
in  Savannah,  May  23,  1898. 

Major-General  William  Wing  Loring  was 
born  in  Wilmington,  North  Carolina,  December  1. 
1818,  and  served  in  the  Seminole  and  Mexican 
wars.  In  the  latter  he  lost  an  arm.  Later,  he  was 
colonel  of  a  regiment  sent  against  the  Indians  in 
New  Mexico.  He  resigned  from  the  army  to  enter 
the  Confederate  service,  and  came  into  command 


of  the  Army  of  the  Northwest,  duly  20,  1861.  He 
was  made  major-general  in  February,  1862.  His 
chief  active  service  was  in  Kentucky,  and  in  Mis- 
sissippi, before  and  during  the  Yicksburg  cam- 
paign; in  that  same  State  under  Polk,  and  as  di- 
vision commander  in  the  Army  of  Mississippi  in  the 
Atlanta  campaign,  and  in  the  Army  of  Tennessee 
at  Franklin  and  Nashville,  and  under  Johnston  in 
the  Carolinas.  After  the  war  he  went  to  Egypt, 
where  he  served  as  general  in  command  of  a  division 
in  the  army  of  the  Khedive.  He  died  in  New  York 
city,  December  30,  1886. 

Major-General  Edward  Johnson  (U.S.M. 
A.  1838)  was  born  in  Chesterfield  County,  Vir- 
ginia, April  16,  1816,  and  served  in  the  Mexican 
War.  He  entered  the  Confederate  army  and  was 
made  a  brigadier-general,  commanding  the  North- 
west forces  directly  under  Major-General  T.  J. 
Jackson,  in  May.  1862.  The  next  year  (Febru- 
ary, 1863),  he  was  made  major-general.  He  had 
a  division  in  the  Second  Corps,  Army  of  Northern 
Virginia,  and  in  September,  1861.  was  assigned  to 
the  division  of  the  Second  Corps,  Army  of  Tennes- 
see.    He  died  in  Richmond,  Virginia, March  2,1873. 


Armij  uf  thr  flntmnar 


On  May  21,  1861.  Brigadier-General  M.  L. 
Bonham  was  placed  in  command  of  the  troops  on 
the  line  of  Alexandria.  On  the  31st,  he  was  relieved 
by  Brigadier-General  P.  G.  T.  Beauregard.  The 
forces  here  gathered  were  denominated  the  Army 
of  the  Potomac  (afterward  First  Corps,  Army  of 
the  Potomac)  and  consisted  of  six  brigades,  some 
unattached  troops,  and  artillery,  by  the  date  of 
the  battle  of  Hull  Hun.  The  Army  of  the  Shenan- 
doah joined  this  force  on  July  20th,  when  John- 
ston superseded  Beauregard.  The  Department  of 
Northern  Virginia  was  created  October  22,  1861, 
with  Johnston  at  its  head.  It  included  the  Dis- 
trict of  the  Potomac  (Beauregard);  Valley  Dis- 
trict (T.  J.  Jackson),  and  Aquia  District  (T.  H. 
Holmes.)  In  February,  1862,  some  of  the  troops 
in  the  Army  of  the  Northwest  came  under  John- 
ston's control,  giving  his  entire  command  a  strength 
of  over  eighty-two  thousand.  Beauregard  had 
been  sent  to  Kentucky  on  January  29th,  and  the 
troops  in  the  Potomac  district  were  now  divided 
into  four  divisions  with  several  separate  detach- 
ments. On  March  11th,  the  Army  of  the  Potomac 
was  denominated  the  Army  of  Northern  Virginia. 
The  total  force  then  amounted  to  about  fifty-five 
thousand. 


General  Pierre  Gustave  Toitant  Beaure- 
gard (U.S.M.A.  1838)  was  born  near  New  Or- 
leans, May  28,  1818,  and  entered  the  Engineer 
Corps.  He  served  with  distinction  in  the  Mexican 
War,  and  at  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War  re- 
signed his  commission  (February  20,  1861),  to 
enter  the  Confederate  army  as  a  brigadier-general, 
being  given  command  of  the  Confederate  forces 
bombarding  Fort  Sumter.  He  took  command  of 
the  Army  of  the  Potomac  on  June  20th.  After  Bull 
Hun  he  was  made  general.  He  was  given  the  com- 
mand of  the  Army  of  the  Mississippi  in  March, 
1862,  and  was  second  in  command  after  A.  S. 
Johnston  joined  his  forces  with  it.  After  the  hit- 
ter's death  at  Shiloh,  Beauregard  remained  at  the 
head  of  the  army  until  after  the  withdrawal  from 
Corinth  at  the  end  of  May.  In  1863,  he  defended 
Charleston,  and  after  May,  1861,  cooperated  with 
Lee  in  the  defense  of  Petersburg  and  Richmond. 
He  commanded  the  Confederate  forces  in  the  Car- 
olinas in  1865,  merging  them  with  those  under 
General  J.  E.  Johnston,  and  surrendered  his  army 
to  Sherman.  After  the  war,  he  was  a  railroad  pres- 
ident, adjutant-general  of  Louisiana,  and  manager 
of  the  State  lottery.  He  died  in  New  Orleans,  Feb- 
ruarv  20,  1893.

Armg  of  £fartltmt  Utrguiia 


General  J.  E.  Johnston  was  wounded  at. Seven 
Pines,  May  31,  1862,  and  Major-General  G. 
W.  Smith  took  command  of  the  Army  of  North- 
ern Virginia.  On  June  1st,  General  Robert  E.  Lee 
assumed  command.  In  April,  the  forces  on  the 
Peninsula  had  been  included  in  this  army,  and 
now  the  troops  in  eastern  Virginia  and  North  Car- 
olina were  made  part  of  it.  By  the  end  of  July, 
LS62,  the  division  organization  had  been  further 
concentrated  into  three  commands,  or  corps, 
headed  by  Major-Generals  T.  J.  Jackson,  James 
Longstreet,  and  I).  II.  Hill,  with  cavalry  under 
Brigadier-General  J.  E.  B.  Stuart,  and  artillery 
under  Brigadier-General  W.  N.  Pendleton.  There 
was  an  aggregate  present  of  about  ninety-five  thou- 
sand. Subsequently,  the  army  took  a  more  per- 
manent form  in  two  corps  commanded  by  Jackson 
and  Longstreet,  with  cavalry  corps  and  artillery 
separate.  Lieutenant-General  A.  P.  Hill  was  given 
the  Second  Corps   after  Jackson's  death,  and  on 


May  30,  1863,  this  was  divided,  with  additions 
from  the  First  Corps,  into  the  Second  and  Third 
corps,  commanded  by  Lieutenant-Generals  R.  S. 
Ewell  and  A.  P.  Hill  respectively.  The  army 
numbered  about  seventy  thousand  in  the  Gettys- 
burg campaign.  This  organization  of  the  main 
body  of  the  army  continued  throughout  the  war, 
although  other  generals,  for  various  reasons,  com- 
manded the  corps  from  time  to  time.  A  new 
corps  of  North  Carolina  and  Virginia  troops  under 
Lieutenant-General  R.  H.  Anderson  was  added  at 
the  end  of  1864.  Longstreet's  corps,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  Pickett's  division,  was  with  the  Army 
of  Tennessee,  and  in  eastern  Tennessee,  for  a  short 
period  in  1863  and  1864.,  at  and  after  the  battle 
of  Chickamauga.  The  last  report  of  the  army, 
February,  1865,  showed  an  aggregate  present  of 
over  seventy-three  thousand.  The  Army  of  North' 
ern  Virginia  laid  down  its  arms  at  Appomattox 
Court  House,  April  9,  1865. 


iFtrst  (Eorus — Army  of  Nortltnut  Hinjima 


The  organization  of  the  volunteer  Confeder- 
ate forces  under  Brigadier-General  Beauregard 
into  the  First  Corps,  Army  of  the  Potomac,  was 
announced  on  June  20,  1861.  There  were  then 
six  brigades,  which  number  was  increased  later  to 
eight.  The  strength  of  the  corps  was  about  thirty 
thousand.  A  division  organization  was  afterward 
adopted,  and  one  of  these  divisions,  commanded  by 
Major-General  Longstreet,  was  denominated  the 
Center  of  Position,  Army  of  Northern  Virginia,  at 
the  opening  of  the  Peninsula  campaign.  It  con- 
tained about  fourteen  thousand  men.  As  the  Sec- 
ond Division  (or  Corps)  of  the  army,  the  troops 
fought  from  Fair  Oaks,  where  they  were  known  as 
the  Right  Wing,  through  the  Seven  Days'  battles. 
Toward  the  end  of  July,  the  army  was  further  con- 
centrated into  commands  of  which  one,  consisting 
of  six  divisions,  was  headed  by  Longstreet,  and 
this,  during  the  campaign  against  Pope,  was  called 
the  Right  Wing  or  Longstreet's  Corps.  After 
the  battle  of  Antietam,  the  corps  was  desig- 
nated the  First  Corps,  Army  of  Northern  Vir- 
ginia. In  September,  1863,  Lee  sent  the 
corps,  with  the  exception  of  Pickett's  division, 
to  assist  Bragg,  and,  as  Longstreet's  Corps,  fought 
in  the  Army  of  Tennessee  at  Chickamauga  and 
remained  in  East  Tennessee  until  April,  186-1, 
when  it  rejoined   the  Army  of  Virginia.      Major- 


General  R.  H.  Anderson  succeeded  to  the  command 
of  the  corps  after  Longstreet  was  wounded  at  the 
battle  of  the  Wilderness,  May  6th.  The  latter  re- 
turned to  his  corps,  October  19th,  and  continued 
at  the  head  until  the  surrender  at  Appomattox. 

Lieutenant-General  James  Longstreet  (U. 
S.M.A.  1842)  was  born  in  Edgefield  District, 
South  Carolina,  January  8,  1821,  and  served  in  the 
Mexican  War,  where  he  was  severely  wounded.  In 
June,  1861,  he  resigned  as  major  in  the  army  and 
was  appointed  brigadier-general  in  the  Confeder- 
ate service.  As  major-general,  he  had  a  division, 
and,  later,  as  lieutenant-general,  the  First  Corps 
of  the  Army  of  Northern  Virginia.     In  September, 

1863,  he  was  sent  with  part  of  his  corps  to  Ten- 
nessee and  took  command  of  the  left  wing  at  the 
battle  of  Chickamauga.  He  was  then  placed  at  the 
heat!  of  the  Department  of  East  Tennessee  and  re- 
turned to  Virginia  in  April,  1864.  He  was  severely 
wounded  at  the  battle  of  the  Wilderness,  May  6, 

1864,  but  resumed  command  of  the  corps  in  Octo- 
ber. After  the  war,  he  engaged  in  business  in  New 
Orleans  and  held  several  political  offices.  In  1880- 
81  he  was  American  minister  to  Turkey,  and  in 
1898  he  was  appointed  United  States  railway  com- 
missioner.    He  died  at  Gainesville,  Georgia,  Jan-

&rrmib  (turps — Army  of  Nuriljrrn  Hirgiuia 


Ox  September  25,  1861,  Major-Genera]  G.  W. 
Smitli  was  assigned  to  the  command  of  the  Second 
Corps,  Army  of  the  Potomac,  which  was  organized 
to  consist  of  all  the  troops  not  hitherto  assigned 
to  the  First  Corps.  After  October  22d,  the  force 
was  known  as  the  Second  Division  and  contained 
five  brigades.  It  numbered  almost  twenty  thou- 
sand men,  and  passed  into  the  Reserve,  Second  Di- 
vision, and  D.  H.  Hill's  Division  of  the  Army  of 
Northern  Virginia.  Most  of  these  troops  finally 
came  under  the  command  of  Lieutenant-General  T. 
J.  Jackson  and  became  known  as  the  Second  Corps

of  Chickamauga,  assisted  by  Longstreet's  Corps 
from  the  Army  of  Northern  Virginia.  It  was 
driven  from  Chattanooga  in  November,  1863,  by 
Grant's  forces.  After  the  battle  of  Chickamauga, 
the  corps  were  reorganized  several  times.  Bragg 
was  removed  from  the  command  on  December  2, 
1863,  and  until  General  Johnston  assumed  it,  on 
December  27th,  both  Hardee  and  Polk  were  in  tem- 
porary command.  Polk  was  sent  to  the  Depart- 
ment of  Alabama,  Mississippi  and  East  Louisiana 
before  the  end  of  December.  The  army  spent  the 
winter  .around  Dalton,  Georgia,  and  faced  Sher- 
man's advance  in  May,  186-1,  in  two  infantry  and 
one  cavalry  corps.  Polk  brought  back  his  divi- 
sions, which  he  called  the  Army  of  Mississippi,  and 
these  forces  were  consolidated  with  the  Army  of 
Tennessee  on  July  26th,  after  Polk  had  been  killed. 
On  July  18th,  Johnston  was  replaced  by  General 
John  B.  Hood.  After  the  capture  of  Atlanta,  the 
army  returned  to  Tennessee,  and,  failing  to  cut 
off  Major-General  Schofield's  command  at  Frank- 
lin, was  routed  by  Major-General  Thomas  at 
Nashville  (December  15-16,  186-1).  In  February, 
1865,  General  Johnston  was  again  placed  in  com- 
mand of  the  Army  of  Tennessee,  as  well  as  the 
troops  in  South  Carolina,  Georgia,  and  Florida. 
The  army  had  greatly  dwindled.  Lieutenant-Gen- 
eral  A.  P.  Stewart  was  at  the  actual  head  of  the 
Army  of  Tennessee  after  March  16th,  and  Johns- 
ton's enlarged  command  included  troops  from  the 
far  South  under  Hardee,  which,  in  February,  had 
been  organized  in  a  corps,  and  those  in  North  Car- 
olina under  Bragg.  The  aggregate  present  of  the 
old  Army  of  Tennessee  was  about  twenty  thou- 
sand. The  army  surrendered  to  Sherman  in  North 
Carolina,  April  26,  1865. 

Gi.nf.rai.  Braxton  Bragg  (U.S.M.A.  1837) 
was  born  in  Warren  County,  North  Carolina, 
March  22,  1817,  and  served  in  the  Seminole  and 
Mexican  wars.  He  resigned  from  the  army  in 
1859,  and  became  an  extensive  planter  in  Louis- 
iana.    On  the  secession  of  Louisiana,  he  was  made 


a  brigadier-general  in  the  Confederate  provi- 
sional army,  and  was  the  first  commander  of  the 
military  forces  of  Louisiana.  After  being  ap- 
pointed major-general  in  September,  he  took  com- 
mand of  the  forces  in  Alabama  and  West  Florida 
from  October,  1861,  to  February,  1862.  He  com- 
manded the  right  wing  of  the  Army  of  the  Missis- 
sippi at  Shiloh,  and  was  made  general  after  the 
death  of  Albert  Sidney  Johnston.  He  succeeded 
Beauregard  as  commander  of  the  Army  of  the  Mis- 
sissippi (or  Tennessee),  and  led  it  into  Kentucky 
in  September,  1862,  and  after  his  retreat  therefrom, 
was  defeated  by  Rosecrans  at  Stone's  River  (Jan- 
uary, 1863).  He  in  turn  defeated  Rosecrans  at 
Chickamauga.  but  was  driven  from  Chattanooga 
by  Grant  in  November,  1863.  Bragg  was  now  re- 
lieved of  the  Army  of  Tennessee,  and,  later,  was 
given  control  of  the  Confederate  army's  military 
operations  at  Richmond.  As  commander  of  the 
Department  of  North  Carolina,  he  failed  in  at- 
tempts to  check  Sherman  and  prevent  the  fall  of 
Wilmington.  After  February,  1865,  he  cooperated 
with  Johnston  and  surrendered  with  the  latter. 
Later  on,  he  was  state  engineer  of  Alabama,  and 
died  in  Galveston,  Texas,  September  27,  1876. 

General  John  Bell  Hood  (U.S.M.A.  1853) 
was  born  in  Owingsville,  Kentucky,  June  1,  1831. 
and  fought  against  the  Comanche  Indians  in  Tex- 
as. He  resigned  from  the  army  in  April,  1861,  to 
enter  the  Confederate  service.  After  serving  as 
captain  in  the  cavalry  and  colonel  of  a  Texas  regi- 
ment, he  received  the  appointment  of  brigadier- 
general  in  March,  1862.  He  was  made  major-gen- 
eral in  October,  1862,  after  taking  a  conspicuous 
part  in  the  Virginia  campaigns.  At  Gettysburg, 
he  commanded  the  largest  division  in  Longstreet's 
Corps.  In  September,  he  went  to  Tennessee 
with  Longstreet's  Corps,  which  he  commanded 
at  Chickamauga,  where  he  lost  a  leg.  After 
the  battle,  he  was  given  the  rank  of  lieutenant- 
general,  and  at  the  head  of  the  Second  Corps 
in  the  Army  of  Tennessee,  took  part  in  the 
Atlanta  campaign  from  May  to  July  18,  1861. 
when  he  succeeded  Johnston  in  the  command 
of  the  army  with  the  temporary  rank  of  gen- 
eral. He  lost  Atlanta,  and,  returning  to  Tennes- 
see, was  driven  into  Alabama  by  Major-General 
Thomas  in  the  middle  of  December.  In  January, 
1865,  he  was  relieved  of  his  command  and  was 
ordered  to  Richmond.  After  the  war,  he  went  to 
New  Orleans,  where  he  died,  August  30,  1879.

Major-General  Leonidas  Polk  commanded 
from  June,  L861,  to  .March,  1862,  the  First 
Division  in  the  Western  Department  (No.  2),  the 
troops  of  which  were  scattered  along  the  Missis- 
sippi from  Columbus,  Kentucky,  to  Memphis,  and 
in  the  interior  of  Tennessee  and  Mississippi.  It 
numbered  about  twenty-five  thousand  men.  On 
the  organization  of  the  Army  of  the  Mississippi  in 
March,  1862,  this  division  was  called  the  First 
Grand  Division,  and  after  the  consolidation  with 
the  Central  Army  of  Kentucky,  on  March  29th,  the 
First  Corps,  Army  of  the  Mississippi.  On  August 
15th,  Folk's  Corps  was  reorganized  as  the  Right 
Wing  in  ten  divisions,  with  over  fifteen  thousand 
present  for  duty.  In  the  Army  of  Tennessee,  the 
Right  Wing  became  the  First,  or  Polk's  Corps. 
After  the  battle  of  Chickamauga,  Polk  was  relieved 
of  the  command,  and  both  corps  of  the  army  un- 
derwent reorganization.  The  leading  corps  was 
thereafter  known  as  Hardee's,  or  Cheatham's 
Corps,  from  the  names  of  its  commanders. 

Lieutenant-General  Leonidas  Polk  (U.S. 
M.A.  1827)  was  born  in  Raleigh,  North  Carolina, 
April  10,  1806.  He  left  the  army  for  the  church, 
and  eventually  became  the  first  Protestant  Kpisco- 
pal  Bishop  of  Louisiana,  in  1841.  In  1861,  he 
entered  the  Confederate  army  and  was  made  ma- 
jor-general in  June.  He  was  assigned  to  the  com- 
mand of  the  Western  Department  (No.  2)  ;  and  in 
September  he  was  replaced  by  General  A.  S.  Johns- 
ton and  given  the  First  Division,  Army  of  the  Mis- 
sissippi, with  which  he  won  the  battle  of  Belmont  in 
November.  He  led  the  First  Corps  at  Shiloh,  and 
later  had  temporary  command  of  the  army  itself. 
In  October,  1862,  he  was  given  the  rank  of  lieuten- 
ant-general, and  accompanied  the  Western  Con- 
federate army  until  after  Chickamauga,  where  he 
commanded  the  Right  Wing  when  he  was  tempo- 
rarily suspended,  but  the  charge  of  delay  on  his 
part  was  dismissed  by  President  Davis.  In  the 
winter  of  1863-64*,  he  was  in  command  of  the 
Department  of  Alabama,  Mississippi,  and  East 
Louisiana,  and  brought  his  forces,  which  he  called 
the  Army  of  Mississippi,  to  Georgia  in  May,  1864, 
to  assist  Johnston  in  opposing  Sherman's  ad- 
vance to  Atlanta.  On  Pine  Mountain,  near  Mar- 
ietta, Georgia,  he  was  killed  by  a  cannon-ball,  dune 
14,  1864. 

Major-General  Benjamin  Franklin  Cheath- 
am was  born  in  Nashville,  Tennessee,  October  20, 
1820.     He  entered  the  Mexican  War,  rising  to  the 

[264 


rank  of  colonel  after  distinguished  service  at  Mon- 
terey and  elsewhere.  At  the  close  of  this  war  he 
became  major-general  of  the  Tennessee  militia, 
and  when  the  Civil  War  broke  out  he  attached  him- 
self' to  the  Confederate  cause  and  organized  the 
entire  supply  department  for  the  Western  troops. 
As  brigadier-general,  he  served  under  Polk  at  Bel- 
mont, and  had  a  division  of  the  First  Corps,  Army 
of  the  Mississippi,  at  Shiloh,  and  was  commander  of 
the  Right  Wing  of  the  same  army  during  Bragg's 
invasion  of  Kentucky  in  1862.  He  led  his  division 
at  Stone's  River,  through  the  Tullahoma  cam- 
paign, and  at  Chickamauga,  and  after  that  battle 
was  head  of  Cheatham's  Corps,  an  organization 
formed  upon  the  departure  of  Polk  from  the  army, 
and  of  which  Hardee  shortly  afterward  took  com- 
mand. In  the  Atlanta  campaign  he  led  a  division 
in  Hardee's  Corps,  and  assumed  command  of  the 
corps,  which  later  was  known  as  Cheatham's  Corps, 
after  the  departure  of  Hardee  for  Savannah  in  Oc- 
tober, 1864,  with  which  he  continued  until  the  sur- 
render at  Durham  Station.  After  the  war  lie  be- 
came a  farmer  in  Tennessee,  and  was  appointed 
postmaster  of  Nashville  in  1885.  He  died  there 
September  4,   1886. 

Major-General  Patrick  Romayne  Cleburne 

was  born  in  County  Cork,  Ireland,  March  IT,  1828. 
He  ran  away  from  Trinity  College,  Dublin,  and 
enlisted  in  the  Forty-first  Foot.  In  18/55  he 
came  to  America,  settling  in  Helena,  Arkansas, 
where  he  practised  law  until  the  opening  of 
the  war.  He  entered  the  Confederate  service  as 
private,  and  rose  to  the  rank  of  major-general,  in 
1862.  He  planned  the  capture  of  the  United 
States  arsenal  in  Arkansas,  March,  1861.  He 
was  colonel  of  an  Arkansas  regiment,  and  at  Shi- 
loh, as  brigadier-general,  he  commanded  a  brigade 
in  the  Third  Corps,  Army  of  the  Mississippi.  He 
was  wounded  at  Perryville.  At  Murfreesboro  and 
Chickamauga  he  commanded  a  division,  and  his 
troops  formed  the  rear  guard  at  Missionary  Ridge. 
For  his  defense  of  Ringgold  Gap,  in  the  Atlanta 
campaign,  he  received  the  thanks  of  the  Confeder- 
ate Congress.  Cleburne  .covered  Hood's  retreat  at 
Jonesboro,  and  had  temporary  command  of  Har- 
dee's Corps.  He  continued  to  hold  his  division  in 
Cheatham's  Corps,  and  at  the  battle  of  Franklin 
was  killed,  November  30,  1864.  A  brilliant  charge 
at  Chickamauga  earned  him  the  title  of  "  Stone- 
wall of  the  West,"  and  it  was  he  who  initiated 
the  Order  of  the  Southern  Cross  and  was  among 
the  first  to  urge  the  advantages  to  the  Confeder- 
ates of  colored  troops.

the  Trans-Mississippi  Department. 


Major-General  Sterling  Price  was  born  in 
Prince  Edward  County,  Virginia,  September  14, 
1809.  He  settled  in  Missouri  in  1830,  and  was  a 
member  of  Congress  in  1845,  when  he  went  to  the 
Mexican  War,  in  which  he  was  made  brigadier- 
general  of  volunteers.  From  1853  to  1857,  he  was 
governor  of  the  State,  and  president  of  the  State 
Convention  of  1853.  He  was  made  major-general

he  was  ordered  to  the  Trans-Mississippi  Depart-

ber, 1864,  in  an  attempt  to  gather  a  large  number 
of  recruits  from  the  independent  bands  in  that 
State.  But  Rosecrans  drove  him  back  to  Arkan- 
sas. After  the  war  he  became  interested  in  a  colo- 
nization scheme  in  Mexico,  but  returned  to  the

winter  of  1864.  In  May,  Polk  joined  the  Army  of 
Tennessee  to  oppose  Sherman's  advance  to  At- 
lanta, and  he  then  denominated  his  troops  the 
Army  of  Mississippi.  Polk  was  killed  on  Pine

confirmed  the  following  year.  He  had  a  brigade  in 
Polk's  command  in  the  Western  Department,  and 
later  a  division  in  the  Army  of  Tennessee.     He  was 


wounded  at  Ezra  Church  in  the  Atlanta  campaign, 
and  after  Polk's  death,  he  succeeded  to  the  com- 
mand of  the  Army  of  Mississippi,  which  later  be- 
came a  corps  of  the  Army  of  Tennessee.  On 
March  16,  1865,  he  was  assigned  to  the  command

paign General  Lee,  then  colonel  commanding  the 
Ninth  Virginia  Cavalry,  participated  in  Stuart's 
ride  around  McClellan's  army.  In  the  Chancellors- 
ville  campaign  General  Lee  was  in  command  of  a 
body  of  cavalry  which  fought  with  the  Union  Cav- 
alry of  General  Stoneman  under  the  immediate 
command  of  General  Averell.  General  Lee's  bri- 
gade also  participated  in  the  Gettysburg  cam- 
paign, forming  one  of  the  six  brigades  commanded 
by  Major-General  J.  E.  B.  Stuart.  General  Lee 
with  his  cavalry  opposed  the  advances  of  Gen- 
eral Sheridan  in  his  Trevilian  raid  when  Wilson

Road  :  and  at  the  Petersburg  campaign  his  cavalry 
participated  actively,  making  many  valiant  assaults 
on  the  Federal  lines.  Before  the  surrender  of  Ap- 
pomattox, General  Lee  with  his  cavalry  aided  Gen- 
eral Gordon  in  keeping  back  the  Union  advances 
and  protecting  the  wagon-trains  of  the  Confeder- 
ate army.  He  was  paroled  at  Appomattox  Court 
House,  April  9,  1865,  and  died  at  Ravensworth, 
Fairfax  County,  Virginia,  October  15,  1891. 

Major-General  George  Washington  Custis 
Lee  (U.S.M.A.  1854)  was  born  at  Fortress  Mon- 
roe, Virginia,  September  16,  1832,  and  was  the 
eldest  son  of  General  Robert  E.  Lee.  Upon  grad- 
uation from  the  United  States  Military  Academy 
he  joined  the  corps  of  engineers,  in  which  he  served 
until  May  2,  1861,  when  he  resigned  to  enter  the 
Confederate  Army.  The  greater  part  of  his  service 
was  as  aide  to  President  Jefferson  Davis.  He  was 
appointed  major-general  serving  with  the  volun- 
teer troops  with  temporary  rank  on  February  7, 
1865,  the  commission  dating  from  October  20, 
1864.  On  the  same  date  he  was  also  made  full 
major-general.  He  was  captured  at  Sailor's  Creek, 
April  6,  1865,  and  was  paroled  six  days  later, 
which  parole  was  extended  until  April  23,   1865. 


In  addition  to  serving  as  aide  to  President  Davis, 
General  Lee  was  in  command  of  military  forces  in 
the  city  of  Richmond.  In  the  latter  part  of  the 
war  he  commanded  a  division  of  Ewell's  corps, 
and  it  was  at  this  time  that  his  division  was 
captured  along  with  that  of  General  Kershaw. 
After  the  war  he  became  professor  of  civil  en- 
gineering at  the  Virginia  Military  Institute,  and 
in  1871  he  succeeded  his  father, — General  Robert 
E.  Lee, — as  president  of  the  Washington  &  Lee 
University.  This  position  he  held  until  1897, 
when  he  became  president  emeritus. 

Major-General  Matthew  Calvin  Butler 
was  born  near  Greenville,  South  Carolina,  March 
8,  1836.  He  was  admitted  to  the  South  Carolina 
bar  in  1856,  and  in  addition  to  practising  law  was 
elected  to  the  State  legislature  in  1859.  At  the 
outbreak  of  the  Civil  War  he  entered  the  Confed- 
erate Army  as  captain,  and  rose  to  the  command 
of  the  Second  South  Carolina  Cavalry,  which 
fought  a  notable  action  at  Brandy  Station  on 
June  10,  1863,  in  which  Colonel  Butler  lost  his 
right  leg.  He  was  appointed  brigadier-general, 
September  2,  1863.  In  the  following  year  General 
Butler  had  command  of  a  brigade  consisting  of  the 
Fourth,  Fifth,  and  Sixth  South  Carolina  Cavalry, 
which  was  included  in  General  Wade  Hampton's 
division  and  operated  with  the  Army  of  Northern 
Virginia.  General  Butler  participated  in  the  bat- 
tle of  Trevilian  Station  on  June  12,  1864,  com- 
manding General  Hampton's  division,  where  he 
was  engaged  with  the  cavalry  of  General  Sheridan, 
and  later  broke  through  General  J.  H.  Wilson's 
lines.  General  Butler  was  sent  to  resist  the  onward 
march  of  Sherman  through  North  Carolina,  and 
he  participated  in  the  battle  of  Bentonville.  He 
had  previously,  December  7,  1864,  been  appointed 
major-general.  After  the  surrender  at  Greens- 
boro, General  Butler  was  paroled,  May  1,  1865. 
Entering  politics  again  after  the  war,  General  But- 
ler met  with  rapid  advancement,  and  was  United 
States  Senator  from  South  Carolina  from  1877  to 
1889.  At  the  outbreak  of  the  Spanish  War  he  was 
made  a  major-general  of  volunteers,  May  28,  1898, 
and  served  until  honorably  discharged,  April  15, 
1899.  He  was  a  member  of  the  commission  ap- 
pointed by  President  McKinley  to  arrange  for  the 
evacuation  of  Cuba  by  the  Spaniards.  General 
Butler  died  at  Columbus,  S.  C,  April  14,  1909.

mean  certain  death,  there  arose  a  great  love  that  extended  to  the  widows  and  orphans  of  those  whose  dying  words  they  had  heard  on  the 
field  of  battle.  Ever  since  that  time  the  organization  has  lent  assistance  to  those  reduced  to  need  by  the  inexorable  war.  It  admits  to 
membership  any  soldier  or  sailor  of  the  United  States  Army,  Navy  or  Marine  Corps,  who  served  between  April  12,  1861,  and  April  9,  1865

By  John  E.  Gilman,  Commander-in-Chief,  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic 


AT  the  close  of  the  Civil  War,  there  were  over 
a  million  men  in  the  Union  armies.  Nearly 
two  and  a  half  million  had  served  under  the  Stars 
and  Stripes  during  the  four  long  years  of  war- 
fare, of  whom  three  hundred  and  fifty-nine  thou- 
sand had  died.  It  was  essential  that  those  still  in 
the  service  should  disband  and  retire  to  civilian 
life.  This  was  effected  after  a  grand  parade  of 
the  armies  of  the  Potomac,  the  Tennessee,  and  of 
Georgia,  on  May  23  and  24,  1865,  when  one  hun- 
dred and  fifty  thousand  men  marched  through  the 
wide  avenues  of  Washington  in  review  before  the 
President  and  the  commanding  generals.  From 
the  glare  and  glory,  the  power  and  prestige  of 
the  soldier's  career,  they  went  into  the  obscurity  of 
the  peaceful  pursuits  of  American  citizenship,  and 
in  a  few  short  months  the  vast  armies  of  the  United 
States  had  disappeared. 

The  great  war  was  ended,  but  it  would  have 
been  strange  indeed  if  the  memories  of  those  years 
of  storm  and  stress,  the  sacrifices  of  those  who 
had  fallen,  the  experiences  of  the  inarch,  the  battle- 
field, and  the  camp,  and  the  needs  of  their  disabled 
comrades,  and  of  the  widows  and  the  orphans  had 
been  forgotten. 

Even  before  the  war  had  ended,  organizations 
of  veterans  of  the  Union  armies  had  begun  to  be 
formed.  The  first  veteran  society  formed,  The 
Third  Army  Corps  Union,  was  organized  at  the 
headquarters  of  General  D.  B.  Birney,  commander 
of  the  Third  Army  Corps,  at  a  meeting  of  the 
officers  of  the  corps,  September  2,  1863.  The 
main  object,  at  that  time,  was  to  secure  funds  for 
embalming  and  sending  home  for  burial  the  bodies 
of  officers  killed  in  battle  or  dying  in  hospitals  at 
the  front.  General  D.  A.  Sickles  was  its  first 
president. 

In  April,  1865,  the  Society  of  the  Army  of  the 
Tennessee  was  formed  at  Raleigh,  North  Carolina, 
membership  being  restricted  to  officers  who  had 
served  with  the  old  Army  of  the  Tennessee.  The 
object  was  declared  to  be  "  to  keep  alive  that 
kindly  and  cordial  feeling  which  has  been  one  of 
the  characteristics  of  this  army  during  its  career 
in  the  service."  General  Sherman  was  elected 
president  in  1869,  and  continued  to  hold  the  office 
for  many  years. 

After    the    war,    many    other    veteran    societies 


were  formed,  composed  not  only  of  officers  but  of 
enlisted  men  of  the  various  armies,  corps,  and  regi- 
ments, as  well  as  many  naval  organizations. 
Among  them,  the  Military  Order  of  the  Loyal  Le- 
gion of  the  United  States  was  the  first  society 
formed  by  officers  honorably  discharged  from  the 
service.  It  was  first  thought  of  at  a  meeting  of  a 
group  of  officers  who  had  met  the  day  after  the 
assassination  of  President  Lincoln  for  the  purpose 
of  passing  resolutions  on  his  death.  These  reso- 
lutions were  subsequently  adopted,  and  it  was  de- 
termined to  effect  a  permanent  organization.  This 
was  done  May  3,  1865,  and  a  constitution  and 
by-laws  were,  in  part,  adopted  the  same  month. 
The  titles  of  officers,  the  constitution,  and  general 
plan,  were,  in  part,  afterward  adopted  by  the 
Grand  Army  of  the  Republic.  The  essential  dif- 
ference was  that  first-class  membership  of  the 
Loyal  Legion  was  restricted  to  officers. 

Besides  the  foregoing  organizations  of  veterans, 
there  were  others  formed  of  a  political  nature, 
such  as  the  Boys  in  Blue  and  other  similar  socie- 
ties, and  there  were  held  in  September,  1866,  two 
political  conventions  of  veterans  of  the  army  and 
navy.  These  political  soldiers'  clubs  were  the  re- 
sult of  the  times,  for  the  controversy  between  Con- 
gress and  President  Johnson  was  at  its  height.  In 
the  East,  after  the  fall  elections  of  1866,  most  of 
these  political  clubs  of  veterans  were  ready  to  dis- 
band. The  desire  for  a  permanent,  organization 
of  veterans  became  strong.  No  post  of  the  Grand 
Army  had  been  organized  east  of  Ohio  prior  to 
October,  1866.  Posts  were  started,  and  inasmuch 
as  eligibility  to  membership  in  the  Grand  Army 
was  possessed  by  those  who  composed  the  member- 
ship of  these  political  clubs,  the  Boys  in  Blue  and 
similar  clubs  formed,  in  many  places,  the  nucleus 
of  the  Grand  Army  posts. 

This  fact  gave,  in  good  part,  a  political  tinge 
to  the  Grand  Army  during  the  first  year  or  two 
of  its  existence,  and  to  it  was  due,  chiefly,  the 
severe  losses  in  membership  that  the  order  sus- 
tained for  a  short  period.  But,  eventually,  the  po- 
litical character  was  wholly  eradicated,  and  the 
order  recovered  its  standing  and  its  losses. 

During  the  winter  of  1865-66,  Major  B.  F. 
Stephenson,  surgeon  of  the  Fourteenth  Illinois 
regiment,  discussed  with  friends  the  matter  of  the

formation  of  an  organization  of  veteran  soldiers. 
He  had,  previously,  while  the  war  was  still  con- 
tinuing, talked  over  the  formation  of  such  an  or- 
ganization with  his  tent-mate,  Chaplain  William  J. 
Rutledge  of  the  same  regiment,  and  both  had 
agreed  to  undertake  the  work  of  starting  such  a 
project  after  the  war  was  ended,  if  they  survived. 

At  the  national  encampment  in  St.  Louis,  in 
1887,  it  was  stated  by  Fred.  J.  Dean,  of  Fort  Scott, 
Arkansas,  that  in  February,  1866,  he,  with  Doctors 
Hamilton  and  George  H.  Allen,  assisted  Doctor 
Stephenson  in  compiling  ritualistic  work,  constitu- 
tion, and  by-laws  at  Springfield,  Illinois,  and  these 
four  assumed  the  obligations  of  the  Grand  Army 
of  the  Republic  at  that  time.  It  is  conceded  that 
the  initiatory  steps  to  constitute  the  order  were 
taken  in  Illinois,  and  Doctor  Stephenson's  name 
is  the  first  one  connected  with  the  systematic  or- 
ganization of  the  Grand  Army.  He  and  his  co- 
workers were  obligated  in  the  work.  Several  other 
veterans  joined  with  them,  and  a  ritual  was 
prepared. 

The  question  of  printing  this  ritual  occasioned 
some  anxiety  on  account  of  the  desire  to  keep  it 
secret,  but  this  difficulty  was  solved  by  having  it 
printed  at  the  office  of  the  Decatur  (Illinois) 
Tribune,  the  proprietor  of  which,  together  with 
his  compositors,  were  veterans.  They  were  ac- 
cordingly obligated,  and  the  ritual  was  printed  by 
them.  Captain  .John  S.  Phelps,  one  of  the  active 
associates  of  Doctor  Stephenson,  who  had  gone 
to  Decatur  to  supervise  the  work  of  printing  the 
ritual,  had  met  several  of  his  comrades  of  the 
Forty-first  Illinois  and  had  sought  their  coopera- 
tion. One  of  them.  Doctor  J.  W.  Routh,  who 
was  acquainted  with  Doctor  Stephenson,  went  to 
Springfield  to  consult  the  latter  about  organiz- 
ing, and,  with  Captain  M.  F.  Kan  an,  called  upon 
Doctor  Stephenson.  They  returned  to  Decatur  to 
organize  a  post  there,  and  at  once  set  to  work  and 
secured  a  sufficient  number  of  signatures  to  an 
application  for  a  charter.  They  returned  to 
Springfield  to  present  the  application  in  person. 
On  April  6.  1866.  Doctor  Stephenson  issued  the 
charter,  signing  it  as  department  commander  of 
Illinois,  thus  creating  the  first  post  of  the  Grand 
Army  of  the  Republic.  The  ritual  was  revised  and 
a  constitution  written  by  a  committee  from  this 
post,  at  the  suggestion  of  Doctor  Stephenson.  The 
committee  reported  that  the  regulations  and  ritual 
had  been  presented  to  department  headquarters 
and  accepted.  The  plan  of  organization  consisted 
of  post,  district,  department,  and  national  organ- 
izations, to  be  known  as  the  Grand  Army  of  the 
Republic. 

[292 


The  declaration  of  principles  in  the  constitution, 

written   by   Adjutant-General    Robert    M.    \Y Is. 

set  forth  that  the  soldiers  of  the  volunteer  army  of 
the  United  States,  during  the  war  of  1861-65,  act- 
uated by  patriotism  and  combined  in  fellowship, 
felt  called  upon  to  declare  those  principles  and 
rules  which  should  guide  the  patriotic  freeman  and 
Christian  citizen,  and  to  agree  upon  plans  and 
laws  which  should  govern  them  in  a  united  and 
systematic  working  method  to  effect  the  preserva- 
tion of  the  grand  results  of  the  war.  These  re- 
sults included  the  preservation  of  fraternal  feel- 
ings, the  making  of  these  ties  advantageous  to 
those  in  need  of  assistance,  the  providing  for  the 
support,  care,  and  education  of  soldiers'  orphans, 
and  maintenance  of  their  widows,  the  protection 
and  assistance  of  disabled  soldiers,  and  the  "  estab- 
lishment and  defense  of  the  late  soldiery  of  the 
United  States,  morally,  socially,  and  politically, 
with  a  view  to  inculcate  a  proper  appreciation  of 
their  services  to  the  country,  and  to  a  recognition 
of  such  services  and  claims  by  the  American 
people." 

To  this  last  section,  the  national  encampment  in 
Philadelphia,  in  1868,  added,  "  But  this  associa- 
tion does  not  design  to  make  nominations  for  office 
or  to  use  its  influence  as  a  secret  organization  for 
partisan  purposes."  The  word  "  sailors  "  was 
added  by  the  Indianapolis  encampment.  In  May, 
1869,  the  present  form  of  rules  and  regulations 
was  adopted. 

Post  Xo.  2  of  the  Department  of  Illinois  was 
organized  at  Springfield,  as  stated  by  General 
Webber,  in  April,  1866. 

In  1865,  in  Indiana,  correspondence  relating 
to  the  continuance  of  the  Army  Club,  a  society  of 
veterans,  had  come  to  the  hands  of  Governor  Oli- 
ver P.  Morton,  of  Indiana.  He  sent  General  R.  S. 
Foster,  of  Indianapolis,  to  Springfield,  to  examine 
into  Doctor  Stephenson's  plan  of  organization. 
General  Foster  met  the  latter,  and  was  obligated 
by  him.  On  his  return,  he  obligated  a  number  of 
his  intimate  comrades,  and  these  he  constituted  as 
a  department  organization.  The  first  post  of  this 
department  was  organized  at  Indianapolis,  on  the 
22d  of  August.  1866. 

Doctor  Stephenson  had  issued,  as  department 
commander.  General  Orders  No.  1,  on  April  1, 
1866.  at  Springfield,  in  which  he  announced  the 
following  officers:  General  Jules  C.  Webber,  aide- 
de-camp  and  chief  of  staff;  Major  Robert  M. 
Woods,  adjutant-general:  Colonel  John  M.  Sny-

Phelps,  aide-de-camp,  and  Captain  John  A.  Light-

partment  headquarters.  On  June  26,  18(5(5,  a  call 
had  been  issued  for  a  convention,  to  be  held  at 
Springfield,  Illinois,  July  12,  18(5(5.  The  conven- 
tion was  held  on  this  date  and  the  Department  of 
Illinois  organized.  General  John  M.  Palmer  being 
elected  department  commander.  Doctor  Stephen- 
son was  recognized,  however,  in  the  adoption  of  a 
resolution  which  proclaimed  him  as  "  the  head  and 
front  of  the  organization."  He  continued  to  act  as 
commander-in-chief. 

In  October,  18(5(5,  departments  had  been  formed 
in  Illinois,  Wisconsin,  Indiana,  Iowa,  and  Minne- 
sota, and  posts  had  been  organized  in  Ohio.  Mis- 
souri, Kentucky,  Arkansas,  District  of  Columbia, 
Massachusetts,  New  York,  and  Pennsylvania.  On 
October  81,  18(56,  Doctor  Stephenson  issued  Gen- 
eral Orders  No.  18,  directing  a  national  conven- 
tion to  be  held  at  Indianapolis,  November  20,  18(5(5, 
signing  this  order  as  commander-in-chief.  In  ac- 
cordance with  this  order,  the  First  National  En- 
campment of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic 
convened  at  Indianapolis  on  the  date  appointed, 
and  was  called  to  order  by  Commander-in-Chief 
Stephenson.  A  committee  on  permanent  organi- 
zation was  appointed  and  its  report  nominating 
the  officers  of  the  convention  was  adopted,  and 
General  John  M.  Palmer  became  the  presiding 
officer  of  the  convention.  The  committee  on  con- 
stitution submitted  a  revised  form  of  the  consti- 
tution which,  with  a  few  amendments,  was  adopted. 
Resolutions  were  adopted  calling  the  attention  of 
Congress  to  the  laws  in  regard  to  bounties,  recom- 
mending the  passage  of  a  law  making  it  obligatory 
for  every  citizen  to  give  actual  service  when  called 
upon  in  time  of  war,  instead  of  providing  a  substi- 
tute, and  suggesting,  for  the  consideration  of  those 
in  authority,  the  bestowal  of  positions  of  honor  and 
profit  upon  worthy  and  competent  soldiers  and  sail- 
ors. General  S.  A.  Hurlbut,  of  Illinois,  was  elected 
commander-in-chief  and  Doctor  Stephenson,  adju- 
tant-general. 

The  national  organization  of  the  Grand  Army 
of  the  Republic  was  thus  fairly  started.  The 
Second  National  Encampment  was  held  at  Phila- 
delphia, January  15,  16,  and  IT,  1868,  when 
General  John  A.  Logan  was  elected  commander- 
in-chief.  At  the  Third  National  Encampment  at 
Cincinnati,  May  12  and  1.'5,  18(59,  General  Logan 
was  reelected  commander-in-chief.  It  appears 
from  Adjutant-General  Chipman's  report  at  this 
encampment  that,  at  the  Philadelphia  encamp- 
ment in  1868,  there  were  represented  twenty-one 
departments,  which  claimed  a  total  membership  of 
over  two  hundred  thousand.  But  there  had  been 
very  (vw  records  kept,  either  in  departments  or  at 


national  headquarters,  and  there  seems  to  have 
been  very  little  communication  between  posts  and 
headquarters.  At  the  Cincinnati  encampment,  the 
adjutant-general  reported  that  the  aggregate  num- 
ber of  departments  was  thirty-seven,  and  that  the 
number  of  posts,  reported  and  estimated,  was  2050. 
At  the  encampment  at  Cincinnati,  in  1869,  the 
grade  system  of  membership  was  adopted,  estab- 
lishing three  grades  of  recruit,  soldier,  and  vet- 
eran. This  system  met  with  serious  opposition  and 
was  finally  abandoned  at  the  encampment  at  Bos- 
ton, in  1871.  It  was  claimed  that  to  this  system 
much  of  the  great  falling-off  in  membership  was 
due.  It  is  a  fact  that,  at  this  period,  there  had 
been  a  large  decrease  in  the  numbers  in  the  order, 
particularly  in  the  West.  But  the  cause  of  this 
may  be  laid  to  a  variety  of  reasons.  The  order, 
at  first,  seems  to  have  had  a  rapid  growth.  Be- 
cause of  the  incompleteness  of  the  records,  it  is  im- 
possible even  to  estimate  what  the  strength  of  the 
membership  in  those  early  days  was.  But  the  real 
solidity  of  the  order  was  not  established  until  some 
years  had  passed. 

On  May  5,  1868,  Commander-in-Chief  Logan, 
by  General  Orders  No.  11,  had  assigned  May  !50, 
1868,  as  a  memorial  day  which  was  to  be  devoted 
to  the  strewing  of  flowers  on  the  graves  of  deceased 
comrades  who  had  died  in  the  defense  of  their 
country  during  the  Civil  War.  The  idea  of  Me- 
morial Day  had  been  suggested  to  Adjutant-Gen- 
eral Chipman  in  a  letter  from  some  comrade  then 
living  in  Cincinnati,  whose  name  has  been  lost.  At 
the  encampment  at  Washington,  in  1870,  Memo- 
rial Day  was  established  by  an  amendment  to  the 
rules  and  regulations.  It  has  been  made  a  holiday 
in  many  of  the  States,  and  is  now  observed  through- 
out the  country,  not  only  by  the  Grand  Army  but 
by  the  people  generally,  for  the  decoration  of  the 
graves  of  the  soldiers. 

The  first  badge  of  the  order  was  adopted  in 
18(5(5.  A  change  was  made  in  October,  18(58,  in  its 
design,  and  a  further  change  in  October,  1869.  At 
the  national  encampment  of  187S3,  the  badge  was 
adopted  which  is  substantially  the  one  that  exists 
to-day,  a  few  minor  changes  being  made  in  1886. 
It  is  now  made  from  captured  cannon  purchased 
from  the  Government.  The  bronze  button  worn 
on  the  lapel  of  the  coat  was  adopted  in  1884. 

The  matter  of  pensions  has,  in  the  nature  of 
things,  occupied  much  of  the  time  of  the  Grand 
Army  encampments,  both  national  and  depart- 
mental. The  order  has  kept  careful  watch  over 
pension  legislation :  its  recommendations  have 
been  conservative,  and  of  late  years  have  been 
adopted  by  Congress  to  a  very  great  extent.     Aid

has  been  given  to  veterans  and  widows  entitled  to 
pensions,  by  cooperation  with  the  Pension  Office  in 
obtaining  and  furnishing  information  for  the 
adjudication  of  claims. 

The  Grand  Army  has  been  assisted  in  carrying 
out  its  purposes  by  its  allied  orders,  the  Woman's 
Relief  Corps,  the  Sons  of  Veterans,  the  Daughters 
of  Veterans,  and  the  Ladies  of  the  G.  A.  R.  These 
organizations  have  adopted  the  principles  and  pur- 
poses that  have  actuated  the  Grand  Army  and  have 
given  much  valued  aid  in  the  achievement  of  the 
results  obtained. 

The  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  before  the  end 
of  the  nineteenth  century  bad  passed  the  zenith  of 
its  career.  Its  membership  remained  about  the  same 
in  numbers  after  its  first  great  leap  and  subsequent 
subsidence,  varying  between  25,000  and  50,000 
from  1870  to  1880.  During  the  decade  between 
1880  and  1890  it  rose  to  its  highest  number  of  409,- 
489.  Since  then  it  has  decreased,  through  death, 
in  very  great  part,  until,  at  the  national  encamp- 
ment of  1910,  at  Atlantic  City,  it  had  diminished 
to  21.'3,901.  Its  posts  exist  throughout  the  length 
and  breadth  of  the  country,  and  even  outside,  and 
nearly  every  State  has  a  department  organization. 
Its  influence  is  felt  in  every  city,  town,  and  vil- 
lage, and  it  has  earned  the  good-will  and  support 
of  the  entire  American  people.  Among  its  leaders

country.     Its  commanders-in-chief  have  been  :

By  S.  A.  Cunningham,  Late  Sergeant-Major,  Confederate  States  Army, 
and  Founder  and  Editor  of  "The  Confederate  Veteran" 


THE  organization  known  as  the  United  Con- 
federate Veterans  was  formed  in  New  Or- 
leans, June  10,  1889.  The  inception  of  the  idea 
for  a  large  and  united  association  is  credited  to 
Colonel  J.  F.  Shipp,  a  gallant  Confederate,  com- 
mander of  X.  B.  Forrest  Camp,  of  Chattanooga, 
Tennessee — the  third  organized — who  was  in  suc- 
cessful business  for  years  with  a  Cnion  veteran. 
Colonel  Shipp  had  gone  to  New  Orleans  in  the  in- 
terest of  the  Chattanooga  and  Chiekamauga  Mili- 


tary Park,  and  there  proposed  a  general  organi- 
zation of  Confederates  on  the  order  of  the  Grand

a  general  association  the  State  organizations,  one 
of  which  in  Virginia,  and  another  in  Tennessee, 
had  already  been  organized. 

Following  these  suggestions,  a  circular  was  sent 
out  from  New  Orleans  in  regard  to  the  proposed 
organization,  and  the  first  meeting  was  held  in 
that  city  on  June  10,  1889,  the  organization  being

perfected  under  the  name  of  United  Confederate 
Veterans,  with  F.  S.  Washington,  of  New  Orleans, 
as  president,  and  J.  A.  Chalaron,  secretary.  A 
constitution  was  adopted,  and  Lieutenant-General 
John  B.  Gordon,  of  Georgia,  was  elected  gen- 
eral and  commander-in-chief.  At  tin's  meeting 
there  were  representatives  from  the  different  Con- 
federate organizations  already  in  existence  in 
the  States  of  Louisiana,  Mississippi  and  Ten- 
nessee. 

While  giving  Colonel  Shipp  credit  for  suggest- 
ing the  general  organization  of  the  United  Con- 
federate Veterans,  the  important  part  played  by 
the  Louisiana  camps  in  furthering  the  association 
must  be  emphasized.  The  previously  existing  or- 
ganizations became  the  first  numbers  in  the  larger 
association.  The  Army  of  Northern  Virginia,  of 
New  Orleans,  became  Camp  No.  1 ;  Army  of  Ten- 
nessee, New  Orleans,  No.  2 ;  and  LeRoy  Stafford 
Camp,  Shreveport,  No.  3.  The  N.  B.  Forrest 
Camp,  of  Chattanooga,  Tennessee,  became  No.  4; 
while  Fred.  Ault  Camp,  of  Knoxville,  is  No.  5. 
There  are  other  camps,  not  among  the  first  in  the 
list,  which  are  among  the  most  prominent  in  the 
organization.  For  instance,  Tennessee  had  an 
organization  of  bivouacs,  the  first  and  largest  of 
which  was  Frank  Cheatham,  No.  1,  of  Nashville, 
but  which  is  Camp  No.  35,  U.  C.  V.  Then,  Rich- 
mond, Virginia,  had  its  It.  E.  Lee  Camp,  which 
has  ever  been  of  the  most  prominent,  and  was  the 
leader  in  a  great  soldiers'  home  movement.  In  the 
U.  C.  V.  camp-list,  the  R.  E.  Lee,  of  Richmond,  is 
No.  181.  The  camps  increased  to  a  maximum  of 
more  than  fifteen  hundred,  but  with  the  passage  of 
years  many  have  ceased  to  be  active. 

While  the  organization  was  perfected  in  New 
Orleans,  the  first  reunion  of  United  Confederate 
Veterans  was  held  in  Chattanooga,  Tennessee, 
July  3  to  5,  18C0.  To  this  reunion  invitations 
were  extended  "  to  veterans  cf  both  armies  and  to 
citizens  of  the  Republic,"  and  the  dates  purposely 
included  Independence  Day. 

The  first  comment  both  in  the  North  and  South 
was,  "  Why  keep  up  the  strife  or  the  memory  of 
it?  "  but  it  was  realized  that  such  utterances  were 
from  those  who  did  not  comprehend  the  scope  of 
the  organization  of  United  Confederate  Veterans, 
which,  from  the  very  outset,  was  clear  in  the  minds 
of  its  founders.  It  was  created  on  high  lines, 
and  its  first  commander  was  the  gallant  soldier. 
General  John  B.  Gordon,  at  the  time  governor  of 
Georgia,  and  later  was  United  States  senator. 
General  Gordon  was  continued  as  commander-in- 
chief  until  his  death. 

The  nature  and  object  of  the  organization  can- 


not, be  explained  better  than  by  quoting  from  its 
constitution. 

The  first  article  declares: 

"  The  object  and  purpose  of  this  organization 
will  be  strictly  social,  literary,  historical,  and  be- 
nevolent. It  will  endeavor  to  unite  in  a  general 
federation  all  associations  of  the  Confederate  vet- 
erans, soldiers  and  sailors,  now  in  existence  or 
hereafter  to  be  formed ;  to  gather  authentic  data 
for  an  impartial  history  of  the  War  between  the 
States ;  to  preserve  the  relics  or  memories  of  the 
same;  to  cherish  the  ties  of  friendship  that  exist 
among  the  men  who  have  shared  common  dangers, 
common  suffering  and  privations  ;  to  care  for  the 
disabled  and  extend  a  helping  hand  to  the  needy: 
to  protect  the  widow  and  orphan,  and  to  make  and 
preserve  the  record  of  the  services  of  every  mem- 
ber and,  as  far  as  possible,  of  those  of  our  com- 
rades who  have  preceded  us  in  eternity." 

Likewise,  the  last  article  provides  that  neither 
discussion  of  political  or  religious  subjects  nor 
any  political  action  shall  be  permitted  in  the  or- 
ganization, and  that  any  association  violating  that 
provision  shall  forfeit  its  membership. 

The  notes  thus  struck  in  the  constitution  of  the 
United  Confederate  Veterans  were  reechoed  in  the 
opening  speech  of  the  first  commander-in-chief. 
General  Gordon,  addressing  the  Veterans  and  the 
public,  said: 

"  Comrades,  no  argument  is  needed  to  secure  for 
those  objects  your  enthusiastic  endorsement.  They 
have  burdened  your  thoughts  for  many  years. 
You  have  cherished  them  in  sorrow,  poverty,  and 
humiliation.  In  the  face  of  misconstruction,  you 
have  held  them  in  your  hearts  with  the  strength  of 
religious  convictions.  No  misjudgments  can  de- 
feat your  peaceful  purposes  for  the  future.  Your 
aspirations  have  been  lifted  by  the  mere  force  and 
urgency  of  surrounding  conditions  to  a  plane  far 
above  the  paltry  consideration  of  partisan  tri- 
umphs. The  honor  of  the  American  Government, 
the  just  powers  of  the  Federal  Government,  the 
equal  rights  of  States,  the  integrity  of  the  Consti- 
tutional Union,  the  sanctions  of  law.  and  the  en- 
forcement of  order  have  no  class  of  defenders  more 
true  and  devoted  than  the  ex-soldiers  of  the  South 
and  their  worthy  descendants.  But  you  realize  the 
great  truth  that  a  people  without  the  memories  of 
heroic  suffering  or  sacrifice  are  a  people  without 
a  history. 

"  To  cherish  such  memories  and  recall  such  a 
past,  whether  crowned  with  success  or  consecrated 
in  defeat,  is  to  idealize  principle  and  strengthen 
character,  intensify  love  of  country,  and  convert 
defeat   and    disaster   into    pillars    of   support    for

future  manhood  and  noble  womanhood.  Whether 
the  Southern  people,  under  their  changed  condi- 
tions, may  ever  hope  to  witness  another  civilization 
which  shall  equal  that  which  began  with  their 
Washington  and  ended  with  their  Lee,  it  is  cer- 
tainly true  that  devotion  to  their  glorious  past  is 
not  only  the  surest  guarantee  of  future  progress 
and  the  holiest  bond  of  unity,  but  is  also  the  strong- 
est claim  they  can  present  to  the  confidence  and 
respect  of  the  other  sections  of  the  Union." 

Referring  to  the  new  organization,  General  Gor- 
don said : 

"  It  is  political  in  no  sense,  except  so  far  as  the 
word  '  political  '  is  a  synonym  of  the  word  '  patri- 
otic.' It  is  a  brotherhood  over  which  the  genius 
of  philanthropy  and  patriotism,  of  truth  and  jus- 
tice will  preside:  of  philanthropy,  because  it  will 
succor  the  disabled,  help  the  needy,  strengthen  the 
weak,  and  cheer  the  disconsolate:  of  patriotism, 
because  it  will  cherish  the  past  glories  of  the  dead 
Confederacy  and  transmute  them  into  living  inspi- 
rations for  future  service  to  the  living  Republic ; 
of  truth,  because  it  will  seek  to  gather  and  pre- 
serve, as  witnesses  for  history,  the  unimpeachable 
facts  which  shall  doom  falsehood  to  die  that  truth 
may  live;  of  justice,  because  it  will  cultivate  na- 
tional as  well  as  Southern  fraternity,  and  will 
condemn  narrow-mindedness  and  prejudice  and 
passion,  and  cultivate  that  broader  and  higher  and 
nobler  sentiment  which  would  write  on  the  grave 
of  every  soldier  who  fell  on  our  side,  '  Here  lies  an 
American  hero,  a  martyr  to  the  right  as  his  con- 
science conceived  it.'  " 

The  reunions,  thus  happily  inaugurated,  became 
at  once  popular  and  have  been  held  every  year 
except  the  first  appointment  at  Birmingham.  Ala- 
bama, which  was  postponed  from  1893  to  1894. 
No  event  in  the  South  is  comparable  in  widespread 
interest  to  these  reunions.  Only  the  large  cities 
have  been  able  to  entertain  the  visitors;  which  range 
in  number  between  fifty  thousand  and  one  hundred 
thousand. 

The  greatest  of  all  gatherings  was  at  Richmond, 
Virginia,  June  80,  1907,  when  the  superb  monu- 
ment to  the  only  President  of  the  Confederacy  was 
unveiled.  There  were  probably  a  hundred  thou- 
sand people  at  the  dedication.  An  idea  of  the 
magnitude  of  these  reunion  conventions  and  the 
interest  in  them  may  be  had  by  reference  to  that 
held  in  Little  Rock,  Arkansas,  in  May,  1911,  a 
city  of  a  little  more  than  thirty  thousand  inhab- 
itants, wherein  over  a  hundred  thousand  visitors 
were  entertained  during  the  three  days. 

No  finer  evidences  of  genuine  patriotism  can  be 
found   than    in   the   proceedings   of   these   conven- 


tions. In  fact,  there  are  no  more  faithful  patriots. 
The  Gray  line  of  1911  is  not  yet  so  thin  as  the 
press  contributions  make  it.  True,  the  veterans 
are  growing  feeble,  but  the  joy  of  meeting  com- 
rades with  whom  they  served  in  camp  and  battle 
for  four  years — many  of  whom  had  not  seen  one 
another  in  the  interim — is  insuppressible.  It  is 
not  given  to  men  in  this  life  to  become  more  at- 
tached to  each  other  than  are  the  Confederates. 
They  had  no  pay-roll  to  look  to.  and  often  but 
scant  rations,  which  they  divided  unstintedly.  And 
their  defeat  increased  their  mutual  sympathy. 

Yet,  on  the  other  hand,  there  is  a  just  apprecia- 
tion of  their  adversaries.  The  great  body  of  Con- 
federate veterans  esteem  the  men  who  fought  them, 
far  above  the  politician.  They  look  confidently  to 
the  better  class  of  Union  veterans  to  cooperate 
with  them  in  maintaining  a  truthful  history. 
Maybe  the  time  will  come  when  the  remnant  of  the 
soldiers,  North  and  South,  will  confer  together  for 
the  good  of  the  country. 

The  Confederates  have  not  pursued  the  excellent 
method  of  rotation  in  office  in  their  organization, 
as  have  the  Grand  Army  comrades.  General  John 
B.  Gordon  sought  to  retire  repeatedly,  but  his 
comrades  would  not  consent.  At  his  death  Gen- 
eral Stephen  D.  Lee,  next  in  rank,  became  com- 
mander-in-chief. It  was  a  difficult  place  to  fill, 
for  there  never  was  a  more  capable  and  charming 
man  in  any  place  than  was  General  Gordon  as 
commander-in-chief.  However,  General  Lee  was 
so  loyal,  so  just,  and  so  zealous  a  Christian  that 
he  grew  rapidly  in  favor,  and  at  his  death  there 
was  widespread  sorrow.  He  was  succeeded  by 
General  Clement  A.  Evans,  of  Georgia,  who  pos- 
sessed the  same  high  qualities  of  Christian  man- 
hood, and  he  would  have  been  continued  through 
life,  as  were  his  predecessors,  but  a  severe  illness, 
which  affected  his  throat,  made  a  substitute  neces- 
sary, so  he  and  General  W.  L.  Cabell,  commander 
of  the  Trans-Mississippi  Department  from  the  be- 
ginning— their  rank  being  about  equal — were  made 
honorary  commanders-in-chief  for  life,  and  Gen- 
eral George  W.  Gordon,  a  member  of  Congress 
from  Tennessee,  was  chosen  as  active  commander- 
in-chief  in  1910.  Generals  Gordon,  Cabell,  and 
Evans  died  in  1911.  Each  had  a  military  funeral 
in  which  U.  S.  Army  officials  took  part. 

Within  a  score  of  years  there  had  developed  a 
close  and  cordial  cooperation  between  the  veterans 
and  such  representative  Southern  organizations 
as  the  Confederated  Southern  Memorial  Associa- 
tion, the  United  Sons  of  Confederate  Veterans,  and 
the  United  Daughters  of  the  Confederacy.  All  are 
devoted  to  the  highest  patriotic  ideals.

A  FULL   ROSTER  COMPILED   FROM  THE  OFFICIAL   RECORDS 

The  Confederate  titles  below  derive  authority  through  verification  by  General  Marcus  J.  Wright,  for  many  years  in  charge  of 
<  lonfederate  records  at  the  United  States  War  Department.  Washington.  Some  ranks  appropriate  to  high  commands,  and  fully  justi- 
fied, were  never  legally  confirmed,     [n  such  cases,  as  those  of  Joseph  Wheeler  and  John  B.  Gordon,  General  Wright  has  followed 

the  strictest  interpretation  of  the  <  lonfederatc  records  below.     As  for  the  body  of  this  History  it  has  1 n  thought  best  to  employ  the 

titles  most  commonly  used,  and  found  in  the  popular  reference  works.     The  highest    rank  attained  is  given  in  every  case  together 
with  the  date  of  the  commission  conferring  such  rank.

INDEX 


READERS  WILL  BENEFIT  BY  A  GLANCE  AT  THE  FOLLOWING  NOTE,  WHICH  IMPARTS 
SPECIAL  MEANING  TO  THE   REFERENCES  THAT  FOLLOW 

Much  time  is  usually  lust  in  referring  to  an  Index  of  a  work  as  extended  and  replete  with  statements  of  fact  as  the 
PHOTOGRAPHIC  HISTORY.  The  novel  plan  of  these  volumes,  however,  renders  it  possible  for  the  reader  to  identify 
the  nature  of  each  reference,  simply  by  remembering  the  distinctive  character  of  the  volume  in  question.  For  convenience, 
the  titles  of  the  ten  volumes  will  now  be  repeated: 


I.    THE  OPENING    BATTLES 

April,  1801— July,  1SG'2 

II.     TWO  YEARS  OF  GRIM  WAR 
August,  1862— April,  isot 

III.     THE  DECISIVE  BATTLES 
April,  1804— May,  1805 


IV.     THE   CAVALRY 

V.     FORTS  AND  ARTILLERY 
VI.     THE    NAVIES 

VII.    PRISONS  AND  HOSPITALS 


VIII.    SOLDIER  LIFE— SECRET 

SERVICE 


IX.  POETRY  AND  ELOQUENCE 


X.  ARMIES  AM)  LEADERS 


Each  volume  number  constitutes  a  characterization  in  itself.  Thus,  under  the  beading  "Gettysburg"  the  reference 
to  "  II.,  234,"  clearly  indicates  the  campaign  narrative,  since  Volume  II.  is  that  one  of  the  three  volumes  on  RATTLES  which  covers 
the  period  between  August,  1862,  ami  April,  1804,  thus  including  the  days  of  July.  18(i:i,  that  witnessed  the  great  battle. 

But  the  further  reference  to  Gettysburg,  "IV.,  '238"  as  clearly  indicates  a  treatment  of  operations  of  the  Cavalry,  since 
IV.  is  the  volume  on  CAVALRY.  Again,  tlic  reference  under  this  same  heading,  "  V.,  40."  must  indicate  the  treatment  of  the 
events  at  Gettysburg  in  which  a  part  was  played  by  the  Artillery,  since  V.  is  the  ARTILLERY  volume. 

Thus  this  History's  classification  of  Civil  War  matters,  volume  by  volume,  has  made  it  possible  to  present  in  the  Index 
that  follows  a  much  greater  number  of  items  and  references  for  the  reader's  convenience  than  has  ever  been  the  case  pre- 
viously in  a  work  of  this  magnitude. 

GENERAL  OFFICERS.  Any  general  officer,  L'nion  or  Confederate,  who  served  in  the  Civil  War,  not  to  be  found 
in  the  Index  that  follows,  can  be  placed  as  regards  his  full  rank,  name,  and  date  of  appointment  by  referring  to  Hie  ROSTER 
immediately  preceding. 

BOLD   FACE   ARABIC   FIGURES   INDICATE    ILLUSTRATIONS.     The  Roman  numerals  indicate   the  number  of  the 

volume.      The  Arabic  figures   in    bold    face  type  indicate  pages  on  which  photographs  appear  (text  references  arc  in  ordinary  Roman 
type).     Thus,  under  Pleasonton,  A.,  "IV.,  237."  means  that  there  is  an  illustration.
